Witness Africa's greatest wildlife spectacle during the 5-Day Southern Serengeti Birthing Season Safari between January and March. During this period, the immense wildebeest migration spreads across the mineral-rich short-grass plains of Southern Serengeti, Kusini, and the Ndutu area within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Over 8,000 wildebeest calves are born each day in a synchronized birthing surge designed to overwhelm predators. This dramatic influx of newborns attracts vast numbers of apex predators—cheetahs hunting across the open savanna, lion prides defending territories, elusive leopards, and spotted hyenas. Combined with the giant elephant herds of Tarangire and the wildlife haven of Ngorongoro Crater, this safari offers the ultimate northern Tanzania adventure.
Your safari starts with a morning pickup from Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport. Travel through the scenic countryside to Tarangire National Park, celebrated for its ancient baobab trees and largest elephant populations in Tanzania. Enjoy an extensive game drive along the Tarangire River basin, encountering lions, giraffes, buffaloes, and abundant birdlife. Head to your lodge or tented camp in the late afternoon for dinner and overnight.
After an early breakfast, ascend into the Ngorongoro Highlands and journey down onto the magnificent short-grass plains of Southern Serengeti and Ndutu. As you reach the birthing grounds, behold vast sea of wildebeest and zebras spanning to the horizon. Undertake an exciting afternoon game drive tracking newborn calves and watchful predators before checking in to your safari camp for dinner and overnight.
Spend an entire action-filled day exploring the Southern Serengeti and Ndutu birthing grounds. With regulated off-road driving permitted in the Ndutu/NCAA sector, your expert guide positions you right in the heart of the action. Witness newborn wildebeest taking their very first steps, maternal bonding, and high-speed cheetah hunts across the open plains. Enjoy a bush picnic lunch surrounded by wildlife before continuing afternoon game drives near Lake Ndutu and Lake Masek.
Enjoy a dawn game drive capturing the sunrise and predator activity during their most active morning hours. After breakfast at camp, proceed with game viewing en route as you journey toward the highland rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. Check in to your lodge perched along the crater rim, offering sweeping panoramic views across the ancient volcanic caldera. Savor dinner and rest for the crater tour.
Descend 600 meters early in the morning to the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater for a 5-6 hour Big Five wildlife tour. As one of the world's greatest natural wonders, the crater is home to dense lion prides, black rhinos, elephants, hippos, and flocks of flamingos on Lake Magadi. Enjoy a picnic lunch near the Ngoitokitok spring before ascending the crater walls and driving back to Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport for your onward flight.
