There is something truly remarkable about the good Migration Calvin Season Safaris mass calving of wildebeest between late January and early March. Within a matter of weeks, most female wildebeest drop their calves during a synchronized birthing that sees the Serengeti’s southern plains crammed with over 400 000 young.
Approximations are that 8 000 wildebeest are born each day – that’s 300 every hour! While lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena and canine surely eat their fill of those gangling baby gnus, the synchronized calving is an actual survival mechanism for the species: there’s just too much food for the predators to eat.
The wildebeest congregate within the Southern Serengeti Plains– the Ndutu Area and therefore the northern area of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA). they’re attracted by the abundant fresh grass on the fertile plains and therefore the calcium within the soil, which is important for growth and is transferred to the calves through the mother’s milk.
