Short-sleeved shirts are recommended in the month of February since it is considered very warm. Though short rains are received in the afternoons, they can’t stop a curious traveler from gazing at the great wildebeest migration. In this month, the mothers settle in the Ndutu plains, which are rich in green grass south of Serengeti, ready to give birth to a very big number of calves. The enormous young ones provide a delightful sight, so mesmerizing, just like a sunrise.
As innocent as a child’s laughter, the calves stand in the wild in this month. But this doesn’t stop the merciless jungle hunters from enjoying the free feast, which is of a variety. This may be a blessing in disguise since tourists who like to see the Big Five get the opportunity to spot them easily.
Calves are eye-catching young ones. Immediately after birth, within a few minutes, they start following their mothers, strong enough to walk at the pace of the adult herds, which prevents them from being killed by predators in the bush. These young ones start feeding on grass at the age of 10 days while still suckling their mother’s breasts for four months. A mother’s love is more beautiful than any fresh flower. Mother herders stay together, looking after the calves until they fully mature, yet the females don’t normally live in groups.
Accommodations tourists can book for a wildebeest safari include Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge, which has a clear panoramic view and an infinity pool. It’s also part of the prestigious Serena Hotels. Serengeti Pioneer Camp is situated right at the heart of Serengeti with endless views and twelve unique luxury tents placed in a calm area. Kati Kati Tented Camp enables you to experience it and is mostly liked by adventurists since you stay in the middle of action while in mobile camps. Saruni Wild is recommended for travelers who prefer firelight meals under a night’s glittering sky, providing a clear sighting of all wild animals. Saruni Mara is located in a valley bordering Masai Mara National Reserve and offers comfortable rooms, both double and single, depending on what a guest has booked, to mention but a few.
Activities that tourists engage in include camping, which is done and highly booked by adventure seekers since it involves sleeping outside in the bush, accompanied by bush meals eaten while observing nature. Hot air balloon safaris involve observing wildebeests from up in the air. Birdwatching is done as tourists wait for the great movement.
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing. Start your February journey in the land of wildebeests and change your mindset towards wildlife.
