  Calving on the Ndutu plains

  1 Ene – 15 Mar · normalmenteTemporada de faunaReserva pronto

  The herds drop most of their calves on the short-grass plains at Ndutu, in the conservation area's western corner, and the predators concentrate on them. It is the one stretch when the crater is not the reason to be here.

  The descent fee is charged per vehicle and buys a single six-hour visit, so the whole day gets planned backwards from it. Gates run dawn to dusk and the Seneto descent closes in the middle of the afternoon. Fuente ↗
