Time to Visit the Ndutu Area
- Prime Time:
Late December to March
The best time to visit the Ndutu Area is during the prime time, which is late December to March. This period is when the Great Wildebeest Calving Season takes place, and it is an incredible spectacle to witness hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles giving birth in the short grass plains of Ndutu. This event also attracts predators such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas, providing a great opportunity to observe dramatic predator-prey action. - January–February are particularly ideal months to visit as you will have the chance to see large herds, newborn calves, and exciting wildlife interactions. If you provide me with your travel dates, I can help adjust the itinerary accordingly or assist in adding flight details if you plan to connect from Zanzibar or Dar es Salaam?
