Overview
As you observe the calving season, you will witness the initial stages of one of nature's most challenging and fascinating journeys. The calving season marks the beginning of the annual migration, during which millions of animals undertake a laborious journey from the southern Serengeti to the distant Maasai Mara. Your four-day calving season safari will take you to Lake Manyara National Park, the southern Serengeti to observe the Ndutu calving region, and the beautiful Ngorongoro Conservation Area. If luck is on your side, you might even witness the first steps of this massive herd's northward march.
