  • Expert Guides: Our experienced guides are well-versed in the habitats and behaviours of various wildlife. They’ll use their knowledge to increase your chances of spotting your preferred species.

2. Birdwatching Specialization:

  • Birding Hotspots: Northern Tanzania boasts a plethora of bird species. Depending on the season and your wishlist, we’ll take you to birding hotspots, whether it’s around Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, or other prime locations.
  • Dedicated Birdwatching Safaris: For those with a more profound interest in ornithology, we can design an authentic birdwatching safari, maximizing time in areas abundant in birdlife.
  • Guides with Ornithological Expertise: We have guides who specialize in birdwatching and can provide detailed insights about the avian species you encounter.

3. Flexible Itineraries:

  • Extended Stays: If you’re especially keen on tracking a particular species or waiting for specific bird sightings, we can extend your stay in certain parks or conservation areas.
  • Specialized Equipment: For those passionate about birdwatching, we recommend bringing your binoculars and field guides. Upon request, we can also arrange for spotting scopes.

4. Additional Activities:

  • Walking Safaris: For a closer connection to nature and a chance to focus on smaller species, flora, and birdlife, walking safaris can be integrated into your itinerary.
  • Night Game Drives: Some parks offer night drives, which allow spotting nocturnal animals and birds.

When booking with Timon Safaris, please specify your specific wildlife or birdwatching interests. We’ll craft an itinerary that aligns with your passions, ensuring a memorable and fulfilling safari experience in the heart of Tanzania.
