Tanzania Birding Tour

Join Bellbird’s spectacular birds & wildlife tour in Tanzania ! The Serengeti; a vast unspoiled savannah, hosts the most spectacular concentration of animals on our planet: herds of wildebeest, gazelles and zebras; lions, leopards, cheetahs and smaller predators; and scavengers such as jackals and vultures are ever present. This tour allows plenty of opportunity to savor the big game and find many classic East African birds. Equally world-renowned is the Ngorongoro Crater, with lush forests at the rim overlooking the grasslands and lakes of the Crater below. This is Africa in a microcosm. 

Birdwatching in Tanzania

Breathtaking scenery, superb birding and great wildlife, including the endangered Black Rhinoceros, it offers excellent photographic opportunities. We also visit three other fine National Parks, all of which offer additional birding and wildlife opportunities. Arusha National Park is a highland area of extinct volcanoes covered in thick forest, holding localized birds and mammals; Tarangire National Park is famous for its bizarre Baobab trees and offers the best elephant-watching opportunities of the tour as well as excellent birding; Lake Manyara National Park is a compact area nestled beneath the towering Rift Valley cliffs. It encompasses a soda lake, with a large variety of waterbirds.

There’s no “roughing it” on this tour: we stay in comfortable lodges with beautiful, bird-rich gardens and we also include “off the beaten track” areas that give us the best chance for more birds. We’ll also visit the huge expanse of Lake Victoria adding many new bird species. Expect a bird list exceeding 400 species and 40-50 species of mammals!

The tour is accompanied by a Bellbird tour leader to ensure smooth arrangements. Price includes a domestic flight, all accommodation, transfers,  plus the services of a professional local guide and driver, all entry fees into national parks, all safaris and game drives, all meals and some drinks. Seats are strictly limited to ensure an intimate experience, so don’t wait to join us on this exclusive small group tour!
