A Birder's Paradise Awaits

Spot vast flocks of flamingos on the soda lake, watch fish eagles hunt along the Tarangire River and track rare endemic species like the Ashy Starling and Rufous-tailed Weaver. Led by an expert birding guide with comprehensive field knowledge.
Birding
Manyara Forest Birding
Arrive at Lake Manyara and ease into the trip with an afternoon through its groundwater forest, watching silvery-cheeked hornbills, crowned cranes and grey-headed parrots.

A full day along Manyara's soda lake, counting vast flocks of flamingos, pelicans and storks as they drift over the shallows with fish eagles watching overhead.
Tarangire River Life
Transfer to Tarangire National Park and bird its riverine floodplains, where raptors and waterbirds gather in the acacias beside wandering elephant herds.
Tarangire's Endemic Chase
Hunt the acacia woodland for Tanzanian endemics including the Ashy Starling and Rufous-tailed Weaver, then travel up through the cool Ngorongoro highlands.
Highlight
