This immersive 7-day safari offers an unforgettable journey through Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife destinations during the dramatic wildebeest calving season. Taking place from December to April, this period marks one of nature's most spectacular events as thousands of wildebeests give birth in the vast plains of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The calving season is not just a visual marvel, but also a time of intense predator-prey interactions, making it a thrilling experience for wildlife enthusiasts. In addition to the game drives, you’ll have the chance to immerse yourself in the local Maasai culture and explore historical sites like Olduvai Gorge, where some of the earliest human fossils were discovered. Throughout this safari, you’ll visit the Serengeti, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its endless plains and extraordinary wildlife, including the Great Wildebeest Migration. As you travel through the park, you’ll witness the incredible spectacle of newborn wildebeest calves and the predators, such as lions and cheetahs, that follow them closely, creating dramatic moments in the wild.
