Birding Safari in Tanzania

This tour is a unique opportunity for bird lovers. Among others you will visit the unique destinations of the Usambara mountains  and Ndarakwai private ranch. The Usambaras are a treasure house of botanical and zoological and ornithological diversity, with a huge number of endemic tree and plant species and the Birds of course. Although large tracts of the original forests have been leveled for tea planting, enough of the original wilderness remains to make this a hiking, birding and primate-spotting paradise. Ndarakwai private Ranch on the Western slopes of Mt Kilimanjaro is a privately owned ranch which is an experiment in its self-sustaining conservation, preserving a variety of habitats that are home to over 65 mammal species, and 350 bird species. Ndarakwai is part of the Amboseli / Ngasurai Basin eco-system and helps to preserve important seasonal elephant routes. Many species are permanent residents, while others use Ndarakwai seasonally, depending on time of year visited this is the best site for viewing both peaks of Mt Meru and Kilimanjaro at the same time, not to mention the night game drives!
