Calving Season
Wildlife Thrives!
The calving season is a remarkable period in the Serengeti ecosystem, typically occurring between January and March. During this time, over 500,000 wildebeest, along with thousands of zebras and gazelles, give birth to their young on the fertile plains of southern Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This synchronized birthing phenomenon ensures safety in numbers, as predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are drawn to the abundance of vulnerable prey.
The calves, astonishingly, can stand and run within minutes of birth, a vital adaptation for survival. The calving season is not just a spectacle of new life but also an intense display of nature’s balance, as the cycle of life and death unfolds on the Serengeti’s vast landscapes. For visitors, it offers an incredible opportunity to witness the beginning of the Great Migration and the raw beauty of Africa’s wilderness.
