Why Tanzania for Bird Watching?
Tanzania is a birdwatcher’s dream, with over 1,100 bird species recorded, making it one of the richest birding destinations in Africa. From the vast, open plains of the Serengeti to the lush, verdant wetlands of the Selous, the diversity of ecosystems offers a haven for bird life. Whether you are a seasoned ornithologist or a casual birdwatcher, Tanzania’s avian wonders will leave you in awe.
The Best Bird Watching Spots in Tanzania
1. Serengeti National Park
Famed for its annual wildebeest migration, the Serengeti is also a hotspot for bird enthusiasts. Imagine spotting the vibrant Fischer’s Lovebird or the majestic Secretary Bird while the golden savannah stretches endlessly before you. The park is home to approximately 500 bird species, including the rare Usambiro Barbet, which is endemic to the region.
2. Ngorongoro Crater
A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Ngorongoro Crater is a large volcanic caldera that offers a natural sanctuary to a plethora of wildlife, including a vibrant bird population. Look out for the endangered Lesser Flamingo, the flamboyant Greater Flamingo, and the elusive Golden-winged Sunbird among the 200-plus species that call this natural amphitheater home.
3. Lake Manyara National Park
Famous for tree-climbing lions, Lake Manyara is equally compelling for bird lovers, as it attracts migratory water birds including flamingos, pelicans, and storks. The forests around the lake are also good for forest species like the Silvery-cheeked Hornbill and the Crowned Eagle.
4. Arusha National Park
Just a stone’s throw away from the city of Arusha, this park offers a diverse habitat ranging from the montane forests of Mount Meru to shallow alkaline lakes like Momella. The park is a sanctuary for waterfowls and is an excellent spot for viewing highland bird species.
5. Tarangire National Park
Known for its baobab trees and large elephant herds, Tarangire is also fantastic for birding, hosting over 550 species. During the dry season, the park attracts thousands of birds to its shrinking rivers, making it a great place for bird watching.
When to Visit
The best time for bird watching in Tanzania varies depending on the region and the type of birds you wish to see. However, the general rule of thumb is during the wet season, from November to April, when migratory birds are present, and breeding takes place. This period provides vibrant plumage and active bird life, offering spectacular opportunities for photography and observation.
