As the sun rises over the vast plains of East Africa, a remarkable event unfolds every year: the calving season of the wildebeest. This natural phenomenon, which occurs between January and March, sees thousands of wildebeests giving birth in the lush grasslands of Ndutu area in the Southern Serengeti. But why do these majestic animals choose this specific time and place to bring their young into the world? The answer lies in the rich resources available during this period. After the long rains, the grass becomes abundant, providing essential nutrients for the mothers and their newborns.

Additionally, the timing of the calving season coincides with the migration of the wildebeest, ensuring that the calves are born when food is plentiful and predators are less active. This strategic timing increases the chances of survival for the young wildebeests. At TRR-Safaris, we celebrate this incredible cycle of life and invite you to witness the spectacle of calving season, where nature’s wonders come to life in the heart of Africa.
