About this trip

This tour consists of 19 full days of unforgettable birding in the Republic of Tanzania, one of the premier wildlife destinations in the world. On this tour, we should have plenty of time to see and photograph a range of endemic bird species found only in Tanzania while visiting world-famous wildlife destinations such as the Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park to enjoy the country’s big game as well. This incredible venture takes us to a wide variety of ecosystems and top birding sites in the country, including Lake Victoria, Pemba Island, and the endemic-rich montane forests of the Eastern Arc Mountains. The November timing of the trip ensures maximum bird diversity, with thousands of migratory birds from Europe and North Africa present while local birds will have their breeding plumage on display. In addition, depending on the rains we should catch the start of the wildebeest migration as the animals move southward from Kenya into the northern Serengeti plains, which should be a highlight for many. To ensure maximum enjoyment, each participant will have a window seat in the 4x4 safari vehicles we’ll be driving in.

This was an exploration for all of us. We had excellent guides and saw many lifers. I have to say I got tired of white rice but at least there was usually tofu (I'm a vegetarian). Leeches in the forest - need more rest stops for ladies!!!!

Fraser's Hill is a leftover from a by-gone era. Very quaint, somewhat run down, but great climate. We had excellent sightings of some rare birds, even in the fog. Steve's place was super-lovely and the food pretty good.

I thoroughly enjoyed the morning at Trout Lake and beyond with Paul Laurent. Not only is Paul bird knowledgable, but he taught me about salamanders and the Linn Cove Viaduct. The rain did not dampen his enthusiastic attitude.

I had a great time on this tour. Clifton did an outstanding job in taking us to excellent areas to see and hear birds. What I thought made this trip special was that not only did Clifton guide us, but he shared his knowledge about birds to helps those of us attending to have a better understanding of bird habitat, and why birds are found in certain areas at different times of the year. I found this aspect of the tour very rewarding. Again, I felt that Clifton did an out standing job.
