The calving season also introduces a host of predators looking to make a quick meal of the vulnerable calves. It’s during this time when the southern Serengeti and western Ngorongoro Crater host the highest concentration of predators in Africa at a given time.
Lion, hyena and cheetah show up in large numbers to patrol the grasses, waiting for the perfect time to make a kill. But an easy kill isn’t always guaranteed. Female wildebeest instinctively know to head to the short grass plains so that they can see approaching predators. There they form a barricade around birthing mothers to protect them and the young when they are the most vulnerable, during birth – ensuring the majority of the young survive.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1651039437066{margin-bottom: 20px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;background-color: #efe4c4 !important;}”][boc_heading html_element=”h4″ color=”#ab8f63″ margin_top=”20px” font_size=”20px”]Tour Highlights[/boc_heading][boc_divider divider_color=”#ab8f63″][boc_list_item icon=”icon icon-star2″]You will travel to Tanzania[/boc_list_item][boc_list_item icon=”icon icon-star2″]Season : Jan/Feb/March[/boc_list_item][boc_list_item icon=”icon icon-star2″]You will encounter beautiful scenery/Nature, views and more[/boc_list_item][boc_list_item icon=”icon icon-star2″]Your tour will start and end in Arusha[/boc_list_item][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][boc_heading color=”#ab8f63″ margin_top=”20px” font_size=”25px”]Tour Itinerary[/boc_heading][boc_divider divider_color=”#eeeeee”][boc_accordion_section rounded=”yes” border=”yes”][boc_accordion title=”DAY 1 Arrival in Tanzania” is_open=”yes”]This day is set aside for your arrival into Tanzania and our representative meets you on arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport.
