The Wonders of the Wildebeest Calving Season

The wildebeest calving season is a natural marvel that unfolds each year on the Ndutu plains of the southern Serengeti. From January to February, this region becomes the epicenter of life as approximately 8,000 wildebeest calves are born daily. This period marks the beginning of the Great Migration, a journey that will see these animals traverse vast savannas and cross treacherous rivers in search of fresh grazing grounds.
