6-Day Wild Migration Safari

6 Days: Wild Migration Safari Overview

Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime six-day safari during the Wildebeest Migration Calving Season, thoughtfully designed to immerse you in one of the most extraordinary wildlife events on Earth. This exclusive journey takes you through the breathtaking landscapes of the Ndutu region in the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and Tarangire National Park, where the wild unfolds in its most spectacular form.

Between December and March, witness nature’s miracle as up to 8,000 wildebeest calves are born each day. This incredible event turns the southern Serengeti into a living, breathing theater of life. In just a few weeks, nearly half a million newborns take their first steps on the lush, short-grass plains nourished by seasonal rains and fertile volcanic soil.

This is the birthplace of the Great Migration, where massive herds gather in preparation for their epic journey across the Serengeti. But with new life comes great peril. The abundance of vulnerable calves attracts predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs, creating a dramatic clash between survival and instinct. You’ll have a front-row seat to this raw and unforgettable spectacle, where each moment brings you closer to the untamed heart of Africa.
