N.B: After you send your booking we will get back to you with in 24 hours.
Why is February the best time for the calving season?
February is the peak of the calving period when over 8,000 wildebeest calves are born every day. This high concentration of young animals makes it the best time to see births and intense predator action in the southern Serengeti.
What kind of predators will I see on a 7-day In February safari in Serengeti Migration?
You will likely see cheetahs, lions, leopards, and hyenas. These predators are very active in the southern plains during February because the newborn calves provide an easy target for hunting.
Is the Ndutu area different from the central Serengeti?
Ndutu has short grass plains and soda lakes, providing a different habitat than the central plains. It is the specific area where the wildebeest gather to give birth due to the high mineral content in the grass.
What is the weather like in February?
February is generally dry and hot, but it is part of the green season. The plains are beautiful and lush, providing excellent conditions for photography and wildlife viewing.
How close can we get to the calving herds?
We stay at a respectful distance to avoid disturbing the animals, but our vehicles allow for excellent viewing. You will be able to see the mothers and their newborns very clearly through binoculars or a camera lens.
Are there many insects in February?
Since it is the green season, there can be some flies and mosquitoes. We recommend using repellent and wearing light-colored clothing to stay comfortable during your game drives.
Does Burigi Chato Safaris CO LTD use special vehicles for Ndutu?
We use 4x4 Land Cruisers that are designed for the off-road conditions often found in the Ndutu region. This ensures you can reach the best viewing spots safely and comfortably.
Is it possible to see the Big Five in February?
Yes, all of the Big Five are resident in the parks. February is an excellent time to see them, especially since the predators are so active around the migration herds.
What should I pack for the calving season safari?
Pack light, breathable clothing for the day and a warm jacket for the cool mornings in Ngorongoro. Don't forget a good hat and plenty of sunscreen for the open plains.
How far in advance should I book the 7-day In February safari?
The calving season is a very popular time for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts. We recommend booking at least six to twelve months in advance to secure the best camps in the Ndutu area.
