Tanzania Safari

Birding Safaris

On our birding safaris, our experienced guides take visitors in search of some of the most prime birding locales in Tanzania and the region of East Africa. From prime habitats to endemic species and elusive specials, our safaris provide excitement to all. Ranging from beginner birdwatchers to seasoned twitchers, our itineraries are created around our visitors’ preferences and needs.

We explore a range of East African countries, seeking out birds and other wildlife. We strive to make the experience both thrilling and enjoyable for all involved, offering special requests whenever possible.

We aim to create unique impressions of the birding lifestyle, not just through the birding itself but through the sights and sounds of the local culture. We look forward to more unforgettable safaris with passionate birders from all walks of life.

We are proud to offer an unforgettable birding experience. Our expert guides are well-versed in African birdwatching and take guests to favored habitats which not only hide birds but also feature plenty of larger fauna. We encourage birders of all levels, from the beginners to the most experienced, to join us on our tours. In addition to offering the rarest and most difficult-to-find endemic species, we ensure that everyone on the trip is having a great time.
