Experience the Magic of Ndutu's Calving Season
Why Ndutu?
As the calving season unfolds each year, Ndutu becomes the epicenter of one of Africa’s most extraordinary wildlife spectacles. Located in the Southern Serengeti, Ndutu is renowned for its vast plains and nutrient-rich grasses, making it the ideal environment for thousands of wildebeest and zebra to give birth. This area’s unique landscape supports a high density of newborns, creating a breathtaking panorama of life and activity.
What Makes Ndutu Special?
1. Prime Calving Grounds: Ndutu’s rich volcanic soil provides the ideal nourishment for fresh grasses that attract pregnant wildebeest and zebra. This results in one of the largest calving events on the continent, with thousands of newborns arriving over a short period.
2. Optimal Viewing: The relatively open terrain of Ndutu offers unparalleled visibility, allowing visitors to witness the calving season in all its glory. The combination of flat plains and scattered acacia trees creates a stunning backdrop for observing this natural phenomenon.
Predators on the Prowl
The calving season also brings heightened drama as predators converge on Ndutu:
Lions stalk the herds, taking advantage of young, vulnerable prey.
Cheetahs target the weakest calves with incredible speed and agility.
Hyenas scavenge and hunt for easy prey.
Leopards stealthily hunt from the cover of the bush.
Why Choose Ndutu for Your Safari?
Choosing Ndutu during the calving season means you’ll witness a dynamic and dramatic natural event that is both breathtaking and educational. The sheer scale of the birth and the interaction between predator and prey provide an unforgettable safari experience.
