Wildebeest Calving Season

Witness the beginning of life on the short-grass plains of the Ndutu region. During this window, half a million calves are born, attracting an unprecedented density of predators looking for an easy opportunity in the grass.

Calving season is a time of incredible tenderness and intense action. You’ll see thousands of wobbly-legged calves learning to run within minutes of birth. It is the best time for those interested in predator-prey interactions, as cheetahs and hyenas are constantly on the move. We use our "Signature Field Guides" to help you identify the specific behaviors associated with this unique time of year, creating a truly educational family adventure.
