Every year between January and March, over 1.5 million wildebeest gather on the short-grass plains of the southern Serengeti for one purpose—giving birth. This 6-day budget camping safari offers front-row seats to the calving season, where an estimated 8,000 calves are born each day, attracting predators and dramatic scenes of survival.
This journey is designed for those who want to experience the raw power of nature while keeping costs low and value high. If you want to witness the cycle of life on the move — this safari is for you.

- Authentic camping experience in the Ndutu region and Ngorongoro area
