Tanzania’s Calving Season: All-Inclusive

Welcome to Tanzania! Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you’ll be greeted by your private guide and begin your journey straight into adventure. Enjoy a scenic drive through northern Tanzania’s highlands with a packed lunch in hand, making your way to the legendary Ngorongoro Crater. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most wildlife-dense areas in Africa. Descend into the crater and spend your first afternoon spotting lions, elephants, rhinos, and more in one of the most biodiverse areas on the planet.

After a restful night, journey to the southern Serengeti and Ndutu region, where the Great Migration’s calving season unfolds. Watch in awe as thousands of newborn wildebeest take their first steps and witness nature’s drama as predators closely follow the herds. The wide-open plains of Ndutu make for incredible wildlife viewing and iconic safari moments.

Spend a full day immersed in the wonder of calving season. Follow massive herds of wildebeest and zebras, keep an eye out for lions and hyenas on the prowl, and marvel at the untouched beauty of the southern Serengeti. Want to take things to new heights? Add an optional sunrise hot air balloon safari for an aerial view of the plains in full bloom.

Venture into the Central Serengeti, a region known for its year-round wildlife and rolling golden plains. With its dense predator populations and large concentrations of herbivores, this is prime Big Five territory. Cap off your day with a scenic private sundowner as the sun dips below the horizon.

Your final full day of safari is reserved for exploring the Central Serengeti’s vibrant landscapes. Enjoy sunrise and sunset game drives, or opt for another bucket-list-worthy hot air balloon ride. Soak up the sights, sounds, and stillness of Africa’s most iconic park.

Enjoy one last early morning game drive before flying from the Seronera Airstrip back to Kilimanjaro. Relax in the VIP lounge or Airport Planet Lodge (optional add-on) before your international flight. It’s a bittersweet goodbye—but you’ll leave with stories, photos, and memories that will last a lifetime.
