Your Trip
In a nut shell
Are you dreaming of seeing the Great Migration and imagining a giant herd of antelope crossing the Mara River? Believe us, your migration experience will be even more incredible if you witness all the stages of the migration. We designed the 5-day Calving Season Safari tour to let you observe the beginning of the migration. During this Calving Season Safari, you'll see baby antelopes being born, joining strong herds, and taking their first timid steps on African land.

The migration of wildebeests is often seen as a dramatic struggle for survival, but today, you'll experience one of the wild’s most heartwarming events. Before setting off, the antelopes give birth to new life. You’ll watch thousands of baby antelopes take their first timid steps as they head out to new pastures. This is a highlight of the Calving Season Safari. After witnessing this beautiful beginning of life, you’ll return to your lodge to rest.
Day 3
Full day safari in Serengeti
Today, you'll return to the savannah to continue witnessing the magic of new life. You'll spend the day here, where you might also see the other side of this incredible event. Baby antelopes, vulnerable as they are, attract predators. Hungry lions and leopards are already lurking, ready to begin their hunt. It's a fascinating and intense interaction between innocent new life and the primal instincts of predators. Keep your cameras ready—today’s activities are sure to be captivating.
