Witness the Calving Season

Between December and March, Ndutu becomes the nursery of the Great Migration, where thousands of wildebeest give birth on the open plains. With so many newborns, predators like lions, hyenas, and cheetahs are never far away, creating dramatic wildlife moments. We’ll stay in a luxury migration camp close to the herds, and on our sunrise safaris on the second and third days here, you’ll have the best chance to see these predators.
