Our 6-day Ndutu Serengeti Wildebeest Migration from Arusha safaris operate from November to April and are designed to maximize your chances of witnessing the Great Serengeti wildebeest calving migration.
Following the short rains in November, vast herds of wildebeest move to the short-grass plains around Ndutu and the northern Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The majority of calving occurs in February, before the herds move west toward the Serengeti’s Western Corridor in April.
Please note that migration timing varies yearly depending on rainfall, grazing, water availability, predators, and grass nutrients.
Pick up from Arusha and transfer to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. After lunch at the lodge, descend over 600 meters into the crater for an afternoon game drive. Spot wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, elephants, lions, cheetahs, and flamingos at Lake Magadi.
