Calving Season

Tanzania is incredible all year around, but we can't help but saying how magical late February and March are. Almost 2 millions of wildebeest and zebras return from the northern Serengeti plains to give birth in the south. Literally thousands of calves are born each single day in a synchronized process.

The moment all females give birth and calves are already walking, the whole herd heads out. You'll feel your heart melting while looking at all those clumsy calves. Nothing compares to seeing a baby wildebeest running for the first time just minutes after being born.

But there is a problem...

These vulnerable creatures are under the predators' radar! And so a desperate fight for survival begins! Big cats, like the powerful lions and the agile cheetahs, define strategic schemes, focused runs and ambushes, so they can theirselves and theirs cubs survive to rough nature.

It is the perfect time to observe hunting action and to remind that life is a constant battle in the African plains.
