Description du séjour

The 7-day calving migration safari is designed for those who want to dive deep into the heart of the Great Migration. Spanning a full week, this safari gives you the time to explore multiple regions of the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, allowing you to witness the full scope of the calving season in all its intensity. During the calving period, the Ndutu region is a hot spot where hundreds of thousands of wildebeest give birth, and thousands of newborn calves struggle to survive in the first hours of life. As you watch the calves take their first steps, you will also witness the predators—lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and leopards—on the hunt, taking advantage of the abundance of prey. The 7-day safari allows for more opportunities to witness these thrilling predator-prey interactions and to capture incredible moments on camera. In addition to the dramatic calving, you will explore a variety of ecosystems. From the wide-open plains of the Serengeti to the lush forests and lakes of Ngorongoro, the safari offers the opportunity to see not just the migration but also a diverse range of wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, buffalos, zebras, and more. The trip also includes game drives in the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you’ll have the chance to spot the Big Five in one of the world’s most unique wildlife habitats. With plenty of time to explore the Serengeti, this safari ensures you don’t miss any aspect of the migration. The extended duration gives you the flexibility to travel at a relaxed pace, maximizing your chances of capturing the essence of the calving season and making this journey a truly unforgettable wildlife adventure. Ideal for wildlife photographers, nature lovers, and those who want a deeper connection to the Serengeti’s natural rhythm, the 7-day calving migration safari promises the ultimate immersive experience in Tanzania’s wilderness, showcasing the grandeur and intensity of one of the greatest wildlife migrations on Earth.
