Rise early for a full day of wildlife adventure across the Ndutu plains, one of the prime locations to witness the wildebeest calving season. Between January and March, thousands of calves are born daily, attracting predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas, setting the stage for dramatic and unforgettable encounters.

Accompanied by your expert guide, enjoy morning and afternoon game drives to maximize your chances of spotting both the vast herds and the elusive predators that roam the plains. Pause for a picnic lunch amidst the wilderness before continuing your exploration of this spectacular landscape.
