Tanzania is known as a country with a great diversity of birds. While there are almost 11,000 species worldwide according to various sources, in Tanzania alone there are about 1,100 species, which is 10% of the world’s bird diversity. This country is a birdwatching heaven.

When exploring Tanzania, you should start with the most popular national parks located in its northern part, near the city of Arusha, the tourist capital of the country. Here you will find the best infrastructure and travel itineraries, the most comfortable hotels, and the greatest number of recorded observations simply due to the large flow of tourists, among whom there are bird lovers. Even if you look at the top ten birdwatching spots in Tanzania, it turns out most of them are national parks and reserves in the north of Tanzania with 500-600 recorded species in each.
