From late December to March, half a million wildebeest calves are born on the short-grass plains around Ndutu, and the predators arrive in force. This six-day green-season safari is designed around that spectacle, with mobile-camp nights right in the action.
Why a mobile camp
During calving the herds concentrate around Ndutu, far from permanent lodges. Mobile tented camps move with the migration each season, putting you within minutes of the action at dawn when predators are most active.
