The calving season for wildebeest in the Serengeti typically occurs during the months of January to March. This is the time when millions of wildebeest gather in the southern Serengeti and Ndutu region to give birth to their young. The calving season is a remarkable wildlife spectacle, as thousands of wildebeest calves are born within a relatively short period.
During this time, the wildebeest choose the nutrient-rich grasslands of the southern Serengeti and Ndutu area for calving, as the availability of food and water is abundant. The young calves are particularly vulnerable to predation, and the high concentration of births attracts predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas, leading to dramatic wildlife interactions.
