We will see the awesome sight of the great thronging herds of wildebeest and zebra. During the end of December and early April, about half a million calves are born in this awesome act of synchronized birthing.

The sea of grass provides little cover and the young Wildebeest calves can run minutes after they are born and within 3days they are normally strong enough to keep up with the herds. During these two days, with a good guiding of our skillful driver-guide it won’t be uncommon to spot big predators stocking here and there for a meal in these recently born calves.
