One big nursery
Would you like to go on a 12-day winter safari trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar? In the middle of our winter (late January to mid-March), there is a real baby boom, especially in the south and southeast of the Serengeti. Every day, thousands of gazelle, wildebeest, and zebra calves are born in this large nursery. Within minutes, the calves are standing on their wobbly legs, ready to run away from the many predators lurking nearby. A great time to go on safari!
This trip is all about new life and survival in beautiful nature.
In the safari parks Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, you have front row seats, amidst a variety of nurseries. Endearing and exciting, but most certainly unforgettable!

Travel schedule
In our coldest winter months (January – March), you enjoy the beautiful weather in Tanzania and witness a true baby boom. Innumerable new lives but just as many perils. From our comfortable green camp, you experience this birth wave first hand during the great migration of wildebeests in Serengeti National Park. For even more new life, also visit the fertile Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Arusha
The journey begins in Arusha city, Tanzania’s safari capital. You’re welcomed at the airport and enjoy the first night in a comfortable hotel, located on the outskirts of the city. At this pleasant place, you enjoy a drink and a bite with the sounds of crickets and young birds in the background.
Ngorongoro
The road to the Ngorongoro Highlands is one of the most beautiful routes in Tanzania. There’s much to discover along the way. New life is sprouting everywhere. You’ll spend the night in a charming lodge in the Ngorongoro Highlands area, just outside the Ngorongoro Crater.
Early in the morning, you’ll depart for a fantastic safari in the Nogorongoro Crater. With a bit of luck, you’ll spot the young of the Big Five (elephant, rhino, lion, leopard, buffalo).
Serengeti
The next day you drive to the southern part of the Serengeti, the area in which a true baby boom is taking place this time of year. Simultaneously, this naturally attracts the attention of countless predators for you to behold.
Serengeti literally means “endless plains”. You’ve probably never been able to see for such a distance in your life. In search of fresh grass, throughout the year millions of animals roam through this park, which has so much to offer. This time of year they are located in the south and southeast of the park, where the now green plains turn into a real nursery.
Ngorongoro
You’ll say goodbye to your guide and fly to Zanzibar Island. A beautiful flight with exceptional views. Over the next few days, you’ll enjoy the sun, sea, and sand on the tropical island of Zanzibar.
Amsterdam
In the evening you fly from Zanzibar Island – via Dar es Salaam or Nairobi – back to Amsterdam, where you arrive the next morning.
