Game Drive in South of Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, we’ll begin a full-day, extensive game drive in an open-roof safari jeep, taking you through the southern part of the Serengeti—home to vast herds of wildebeest and zebras that give birth to their young during this time of year. This is the famous calving season. A striking feature of the landscape is the unusual granite rock formations known as kopjes, which rise dramatically from the grassy plains. Among the most scenic and well-known are the Simba Kopjes, where lions are often seen lounging in the sun.

Search for newborns on a wild rise through the southern Serengeti's calving grounds

The search for newborn animals continues on a game drive through the southern Serengeti during calving season. This is a special time when many wildebeest and zebras give birth. But it’s also a dangerous time, as predators like lions, hyenas, and cheetahs are nearby, looking for an easy meal. It's a chance to see the beauty and harsh reality of nature up close, as new life begins and the struggle for survival starts.
