Latest update on the Great Migration: The Ndutu Region, situated between the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti National Park, is currently witnessing the thrilling spectacle of the calving season. With a million wildebeest giving birth to approximately 8,000 babies daily, this park offers a unique insight into the lives of these migrating animals. However, this season also presents a challenging time for newborns as they are vulnerable to attacks by opportunistic predators such as big cats, wild dogs, and hyenas.
