Ndutu & Serengeti Photo Safari

Each year thousands of Wildebeest give birth to their young in one of natures biggest events the Ndutu Serengeti Wildebeest Calving season.

This 10 day safari is without doubt an experience that you as a wildlife photographer should not miss! Considered one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on earth, the migration includes millions of animals as the wildebeest are accompanied on their trek by hundreds of thousand of zebra and gazelle – and predators.

Our safari is aimed at the calving season when the massive herds of wildebeest arrive in the Southern most point of their migration over February March. This is without a doubt one of the best times for you to witness this extraordinary spectacle when the herds find themselves on the vast open plains of the southern Serengeti and Ndutu plains. Here over 8 000 calves are born per day – yet less than half will live to see their five-month birthday. Roaming prides of lion follow the herds, large clans of hyena and of course resident cheetah make for non stop action. For these reasons Ndutu is a favourite with wildlife enthusiasts, photographers and film-makers.

Tusk Photo will be using private safari vehicles for the entire tour. We will also be limiting the number of photographers per vehicle so that there are no limitations in terms of your photographic opportunities.
