Overview
Every year between December and March, the Southern Serengeti and Ndutu plains come alive with one of the most intimate wildlife spectacles on Earth — the Great Migration Calving Season.

The journey continues to Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where dense animal populations — from elephants to black rhinos — roam within an ancient volcanic caldera.
Ideal for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts, this trip offers a rare opportunity to witness the Great Migration’s birthing season, with excellent guiding, comfortable lodges, and full immersion in Tanzania’s raw natural beauty.
