Overview
Tanzania is one of the world's premier birdwatching destinations, home to over 1,100 bird species — including 30+ endemic and near-endemic species found nowhere else. From the flamingo-covered shores of Lake Manyara to the montane forests of Kilimanjaro, every habitat offers extraordinary birding.
