About this experience
This tour takes you to calving season down South around Ndutu area, where an estimated 500,000 young wildebeests are born. Of course the masses of young wildebeests are meals in waiting for predators, with plenty of hunts and kills happening as the concentrated herds attract a good number of lions, cheetah and hyenas. It is a great time for photography, with elephants, giraffes and buffalos being pretty easy to spot amongst many flat topped acacia trees and across sweeping grasslands. Parks to be visited are Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti.
