Birding Safari

Tanzania has one of the richest bird lists in Africa - over 1,100 recorded species, including 24 endemics and a string of rare and range-restricted birds. A good birding trip covers the country's distinct habitats: the highland forests around Arusha (where the endemic green-breasted pitta and the African black-headed oriole can be found), the soda lakes of the Rift Valley, the groundwater forests of Lake Manyara, the miombo woodlands of Tarangire, and the open plains of the Serengeti. We pair you with a specialist birding guide who knows the calls, knows the timings, and knows which local patches hold which endemics. The game drives are built around the birds first, and the larger mammals second. We can also arrange night walks for nightjars and owlets, and boat trips on Lake Manyara for waterbirds and the African fish eagle.
