List of Birds of Cameroon

When most people think of Central Africa, they envision the vibrant culture and diverse ethnic groups that create the quintessential vibe and soul of Africa. Less well known are the fantastic birding and wildlife viewing opportunities. Cameroon supports over 900 bird species in towering mountain ranges, dense lowland forest, and Sahelian savannas. One of the main attractions of this tour is the incredible Red-headed Picathartes; a sighting of this bird is a milestone in anyone’s birding career. Terrestrial, extremely shy, gregarious, mud-cup nesting, and cave-dwelling, it doesn’t get much stranger than this.

Best time for birding in Cameroon

The best time to visit Cameroon is during the slightly cooler and drier months of November to February. The Saharan harmattan wind reduces temperatures and reduced humidity, although it does bring a haze of dust.
