List of Birds of Tanzania
Tanzania is a country located in East Africa. To the north, it borders Kenya, to the south Lake Malawi and Mozambique, to the west Lake Tanganyika and Uganda, and to the east, its shores ride on the Indian Ocean. It’s a vast unspoiled wilderness and has the second largest lake in the world; Lake Victoria (a freshwater lake, home to 400 species), and one of the seven summits, Mount Kilimanjaro, and is the best place in the world for wilderness viewing at Arusha, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Manyara National Parks.The geography is diverse leading to various climates. Although in the tropics, the higher areas are reasonably cool. Because it straddles the equator there are just two seasons – wet and dry. Tanzania’s variety of species of birds, over 1000, varies in each location due to the nation’s geographic diversity. From mountain forest to tropical coast, every conceivable altitude range: deserts, open savannah grassland, lowland forest, bush and scrub, lakes and mudflats.

Best time for Birding in Tanzania
The birdlife in Tanzania is good year-round, but at its best from November to April when the migratory birds from Europe and northern Africa are present. At this time, many resident bird species are nesting and are in breeding plumage.
