TANZANIA
TANZANIA is a paradise for birdwatchers (or birders), with more than a thousand bird species reported in that country, many of them winter visitors. More than a third of the country is reserved for conservation, including national parks and forest reserves. The country has a diverse geography, from dense forests to semi-arid plains habitats, which meet the needs of many different families of birds.
The birds listed in this section of birdsoftheworld.info were photographed in the following areas of Tanzania: Lake Manyara, Serengeti National Park, Olduvai Gorge, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tarangire National Park, and Arusha National Park.
