Wildebeest calf has a drink of its mothers milk near Ndutu!

HerdTracker update 09 Mar 2024 by Kijani Safaris

This wildebeest calf and its mother were spotted near Ndutu. Most wildebeest calves will have to suckle on their mother for around four months, but they can also start eating grass in around 10 days. The calf usually stays around its mother until the next year’s newborn arrives. It is important for wildebeest calves to quickly build up their strength soon after birth so they can easily slot into the larger herd.

Kijani African Safaris took this beautiful picture on the 9th of March 2024.

The nearest accommodation to the herds: Ndutu Safari Lodge, Serengeti National Park Safaris
