Explore the range of different habitats that include swamps, woodland, soda lakes and the world famous Serengeti short grass plains. See great herds of wildebeest and zebra. During a short time frame around February, normally lasting for about 3 weeks, the majority of the wildebeest calve.

Wildebeest calves can run minutes after they are born and within 3 days they are normally strong enough to keep up with the herd.
