Destination

Tarangire is an amazing destination to watch birds,  Its swamps, which are normally green all year round, are the commonest breeding areas for various species in the entire park. In addition, it is home to several dry bird species in Tanzania at the margin of their range, such as the pied babbler and the Vulturine Guinea fowl. Those interested in bird watching may be watchful for the large flocks of vivid yellow-collared lovebirds, the rufous-tailed weaver, as well as ashy starlings—all prevalent in the dry savannah in the north-central part of Tanzania.

migratory Birds

Bird watching in Tarangire National Park is rewarding in different months, from November up to April, you will be able to see various migratory bird species.

The Ostrich, the world’s largest bird, the Kori Bustard-the world’s heaviest flying bird, and smaller groups of hornbills inhabit the drier portion of the recreation area. The Tarangire National Park, with its various settings and food supplies, is a recreation location that every bird-watcher should visit. In the Tarangire National Park, you can also witness Tanzania’s three endangered bird species: the Rufous-followed weaver, the Ashy starling, and the Yellow-apprehended Lovebird. The wet floodplains in Tarangire’s southern and eastern parts are important breeding grounds for Eurasian transients. Tarangire’s hoopoes, Hornbills, White-bellied Go-away birds, and earthy-colored parrots inhabit the savannah and forested areas.

This area is also home to game birds such as yellow-necked spurfowl, Helmeted Guinea fowl, Francolins, Lilac-breasted Rollers, Barbets, and Mousebirds are common, as are striped swallows and Starlings, Swifts, Hammerkops, Bee-eaters, Cordon Bleus, plovers. The slopes in Tarangire Public Park are home to more than 50 raptor species, including Bateleur hawks, Steppe Falcons (which migrate from Russia), and monster Lappet-confronted Vultures, among others, and this is extremely wonderful.

Bird watching is one of the tourist activities in Tarangire National Park, which is considered one of the top birding spots in Tanzania, with over 500 species. The range of animals is similarly diverse, as evidenced by its fluctuating surroundings. Damp areas provide ideal habitats for a diverse range of water birds, including pelicans, storks, and spoonbills. On drier soil, Kori bustards, ostriches, and raucous ground hornbills share space with beautiful, wonderfully shaded lovebirds, barbets, and weavers. It’s a birder’s paradise, with heavy weaponry, professional metalworkers, African Hoopoe, various martins, Vultures, Falcons, and Bateleurs
