Approximations are that 8 000 wildebeest are born each day โ thatโs 300 every hour! While lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena and canine surely eat their fill of those gangling baby gnus, the synchronized calving is an actual survival mechanism for the species: thereโs just too much food for the predators to eat.
The wildebeest congregate within the Southern Serengeti Plainsโ the Ndutu Area and therefore the northern area of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA). theyโre attracted by the abundant fresh grass on the fertile plains and therefore the calcium within the soil, which is important for growth and is transferred to the calves through the motherโs milk.

Day 1: Fly Arusha โ Lake Manyara Airstrip โ Ngorongoro Crater โ Game drive Sundowner + Cocktails.
It is one of the few places where the rare black rhino are often observed in their natural setting. As only a couple of animals migrate in and out of the crater with its 2000 ft. high walls, youโll expect to determine lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, many birds and other species. With slightly of luck the โBig Fiveโ are often spotted during one game drive only.Leave the Crater and drive towards the Ndutu plains to the Lush retreat for dinner and overnight at Lake Ndutu Luxury Tented Lodge.

Day 3: Southern Serengeti & Moru Kopjes to see Mammals & Big cats โPrivate Bush Dinner under the Stars.
We do an after breakfast game viewing drive sideways the Sogore River Circuit, which loops into the plains south of the Seronera River, and which is sweet for likely Lion, Thomson gazelle, topi, ostrich and cheetah sightings. The Visitor Center on the brink of the Serengeti Seronera Lodge and public campsites is well worth a visit after the morningโs game drive. This nicely designed centre offers some interesting wildlife displays also as a present shop selling information leaflets and maps of the world. The center also features a shop where cold drinks and snacks are often purchased, also as a picnic ground and knowledge trail up and around a close-by kopje. We will enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch at the middle within the shade of the enormous acacia trees.
In the afternoon weโll follow the Kopjes Circuit, which matches anti-clockwise round the Maasai Kopjes, which typically attract diversity of lion and a few fearfully large cobras. Kopjes are weathered granite outcrops, dispersed round the plains, most of which are miniature ecosystems, providing shade and beverage in pools left within the rock after the rains. This makes the kopjes particularly good for spotting wildlife within the dry seasons โ including lions, which wish to dwell await animals coming to drink!
