Tarangire National Park, with its Tarangire River as its permanent water source, attracts an impressive concentration of animals and bird species during the dry season.
The park is considered a true bird paradise with over 400 recorded bird species, including migratory, waterfowl and endemic species unique to Tanzania, as well as near-endemic species also found in neighboring countries such as Kenya.
During your bird safari in Tarangire, you may see the vulture-parrot, yellow-necked dwarf parrot, red-tailed kite, African gray flycatcher, great white pelican, among others, grey go-away bird and ostrich spotting.

Other top destinations for bird watching in Tanzania are Mkomazi, Ruaha National Park and Nyerere NP in the east and south of the country.
These areas are ideal for observing both East African birds and South African migrants.

Birding in Tanzania can be done year-round, but the best period is from December to June, during the wet season.
This is the time when migratory birds arrive from Europe and North Africa, increasing the chances of seeing a wide range of bird species.

Katja de Feu

Katja, co-founder of JADORE SAFARIS, has developed a passion for tourism with more than 5 years of experience organizing safaris in East Africa. Together with local partners, the company has grown into a unique initiative focused on exclusive private safaris away from mass tourism.

An African safari is always an adventure. But to embark on your adventure means that even during the planning phase, you need to get in touch with someone who provides independent and honest advice.

It is rare for someone to return home disappointed about their safari, but they may not be aware of what they did not see and how much better it could have been.

Katja wants to make sure her clients are aware of all options for their African adventure … regardless of how they define that adventure. JADORE SAFARIS clients become her good friends, many of whom return to Tanzania or Kenya to travel with us again.

In addition to the personal welcome, it is also Katja who, behind the scenes as financial director, ensures that everything once you are here can also run smoothly.
