5 Days Tanzania Bird watching Safari
Birdwatchers will find paradise in Tanzania’s wild settings. There are plenty of birding opportunities in Tanzania, but nothing beats a guided Tanzania bird watching safari with an expert. Bird watching safaris in Tanzania are the most popular activity among those who are interested in birding tours because of the large number of different types of birds that can be seen in this country. When compared to other safari destinations, Tanzania boasts the greatest concentration of National parks and nature reserves in Africa.
For a 5 day Tanzania bird watching safari, it’s recommended to visit the well-known Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Manyara National Park, and Serengeti National Park. Tarangire National Park, however, is unmatched, particularly in the dry season when fewer tourists arrive and there are more chances to see both popular and rare bird species.
