Ndutu area – This is the Southern Serengeti is where the circle of life begins in Tanzania. The herds make their way from the Central Serengeti and move between the Ndutu area and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where the calving season begins.
The rain has dried up by January, leaving a buffet for the herbivore herds in its wake. The wildebeest feast on the newly sprouted grasses around Lake Ndutu and Kusini as the females prepare to give birth. Between late January and March, around 8,000 calves are born a day. That’s a grand total of 500,000 wildebeest!
Within 10 minutes after birth, the calves take their first steps and get ready to move with the massive herd. This gives rise to predator action as the massive herd has to defend its new-born from hungry carnivores. If seeing this incredible spectacle is high up on your bucket list, this is one of the best periods to book a Great Migration safari in Tanzania. Here we recommend: The 07 Day or 08 Day Wildebeest Migration Calving Season Safari. Book Now

Tipping:
Tipping is of course discretionary but is an expected part of the way in which business is done in Tanzania. It counts as an expression of gratitude to those who – hopefully – have made your experience an unforgettable one and enables you to directly reward those people. Our passengers come from all around the world, with different cultural attitudes to tipping, but a tip is of great significance here in Tanzania and will be hugely appreciated by the recipient. We know that the act of giving of a tip can be a bit awkward and we would suggest that the best way to remove this ‘awkwardness’ is for each couple to put their tip anonymously into an envelope and for the envelopes to be presented by the couple to the staff member.
