4 Days Safari in Ndutu
Explore Tours
Overview
Every year, vast herds of wildebeest undertake a long-distance migration synchronized with rainfall patterns and grass growth. After the short rainy season in November, the herds arrive on the nutrient-rich, short-grass plains of the Serengeti, particularly around Ndutu and the northern Ngorongoro Conservation Area, east and south of Seronera. Here, wildebeest and zebras can be seen grazing, with most wildebeest calving around February. They typically remain in the area until April before beginning their westward migration toward the Western Corridor of Serengeti National Park.
