Traditionally the wildebeest and zebra tend to calve on these plains with a peak around February which makes for a beautiful natural spectacle and some exciting predator hunting behaviours. In January the wildebeests do converge in the south of Serengeti and Ndutu Regions.
The Wildebeest continues to mature on the short grass plains well into March and April gaining strength for the long migration to the North following the rains and the new pastures.
