Highlights
Step into the wild heart of Tanzania during one of nature’s most breathtaking events – the Great Calving Season.
Between December and March, the southern Serengeti and Ndutu plains erupt with new life as hundreds of thousands of wildebeest give birth – drawing predators, photographers, and adventurers from across the globe. This 7-day safari places you right in the middle of the drama, where every sunrise brings the promise of unforgettable encounters.
ITINERARY
Touch down at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where your personal Afrimine safari guide greets you with a warm smile and the spirit of adventure.
A scenic one-hour drive brings you to Arusha, nestled at the foot of Mount Meru. Check into your comfortable hotel, unwind after your journey, and let the anticipation for the days ahead begin.
Follow winding game tracks in search of wildebeest, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and the park’s legendary predators.
Pause for a picnic lunch surrounded by wilderness before continuing your game drive into the golden afternoon light. Arrive at your lodge in time for dinner, swapping stories of the day’s sightings beneath a sky blazing with stars.
Enjoy a picnic lunch at the famous Hippo Pool, then head toward the southern Serengeti’s Ndutu region, where the calving spectacle awaits.
Settle into your lodge or camp, the sounds of the wild your evening soundtrack.
Predators patrol the horizon – lions crouch in the tall grass, cheetahs stalk from a distance, and hyenas wait for opportunity.
After an exhilarating day, return to your lodge for a well-earned dinner under the African night sky.
The air hums with tension as predators move in for their chance, offering unparalleled opportunities for dramatic wildlife photography.
End the day with the glow of sunset spilling across the savannah.
Enjoy a full day of game drives in search of leopards lounging in acacia trees, lions basking on kopjes, and jackals darting through the grass. Witness the Serengeti’s vast beauty at sunrise and sunset before dining at your camp.
We bid you kwaheri – goodbye -for now, knowing the memories of your once-in-a-lifetime Calving Season Safari will stay with you forever.
