Why Ndutu Migration Safaris – Wildebeest migration & Calving season in Tanzania

Ndutu area is a meeting point between these two incredible wilderness areas, Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti National Park. The complete cycle of the Great Migration can be witnessed in the Ndutu Region, starting with the herds’ return to graze in December, followed by calving in January and February, and ending with the herds’ re-departure in April as they begin their journey up north. A million wildebeest give birth to 8000 calves every day during the dramatic calving season, and as the young animals take their first steps, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas pursue them for prey.

In the Ndutu Region, the best place to see wildlife is near Lake Ndutu, where huge herds gather from December to April to graze and give birth. The forests and granite kopjes around Lake Ndutu are also home to lots of game outside of the migration month.

One of the highlights of visiting the Ndutu Region is the chance to see six different species of cats. There are serval, leopard, lion, cheetah, caracal, and African wildcat. Although you can see the cats all year long, the finest viewing is in January and February when these predators prey on the young, fledgling mammals.

Ndutu migration safaris are not just about wildlife and landscapes – there’s an incredible cultural heritage to explore too. Lying within the Ndutu Region, Olduvai Gorge is one of the world’s most significant paleoanthropological sites, thanks to the discovery of the earliest evidence of the existence of humans. Visit the dramatic ravine and spend some time in the museum to learn about the fascinating excavations and discoveries that have taken place here. A visit to Olduvai Gorge should be combined with a stop at the nearby Shifting Sands: mysterious and beautiful dunes formed of volcanic ash that moves with the winds.
