Serengeti Calving Migration

Witness the miracle of life as thousands of wildebeest give birth on Tanzania's southern plains

Natural Wonder

The Great Calving Season

Experience nature's most spectacular birthing spectacle

Each year between January and March, over 500,000 wildebeest calves are born in the southern Serengeti and Ndutu Plains—nearly 8,000 newborns each day. This incredible event attracts predators and creates unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities. Witness the circle of life unfold as vulnerable newborns take their first steps moments after birth, with predators never far away.
