Where and when Tanzania's birdlife is at its best
Tanzania has more than a thousand recorded bird species, which makes it a superb birding destination, even if mammals are your main interest.
Our top pick for birds. The lake, groundwater forest and grassland support flamingos when conditions are right, along with a huge variety of water and forest birds.
Not a specialist birding park, but its many habitats make it very rewarding. Raptors over the open plains are a highlight.
The Momella Lakes attract many waterbirds, and the mountain forest adds species you won't find in the drier parks.
November to April, the wetter months, brings the most species, including migrants from Europe and North Africa. That is quite different from the dry-season focus of most mammal safaris.
