The calving season safari is one of the most intense and rewarding wildlife experiences in the Serengeti ecosystem, taking place primarily between January and March in the southern plains. During this period, hundreds of thousands of wildebeest give birth within a short timeframe, transforming the grasslands into vast nurseries filled with newborn calves.

This abundance of young animals attracts predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas, creating constant wildlife action and dramatic encounters. With lush green landscapes, excellent light, and high animal concentrations, the calving season offers outstanding photographic opportunities and a front-row seat to the cycle of life in the wild.
