After a remarkable time spent exploring the vast, endless plains of the Central Serengeti, you’ll embark on a thrilling journey southward, heading toward Ndutu, located in the heart of the Southern Serengeti. This transition is known as the “New Life and Predator Flow,” where the landscape and the rhythms of nature shift dramatically.
As you venture into Ndutu, you’ll witness one of the most awe-inspiring phenomena in the animal kingdom—the annual wildebeest migration and calving season. Here, thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles give birth to their young, filling the plains with the sights and sounds of new life. However, this surge of life also draws predators to the area, as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas move into the southern Serengeti to prey on the vulnerable newborns. This dramatic interaction between prey and predator forms an incredible spectacle, showcasing the raw power and beauty of nature at its most primal.
