Tanzania: Birding on the Classic african safari

Celebrate Josh’s 20th anniversary of leading birding tours in Africa on a birding safari through the amazing region that is Northern Tanzania. We will seek out incredible birds, all of the iconic African mammals (and the under-appreciated ones, too!), all amid spectacular savanna scenery.

Our safari will take us to some of the most famous wildlife preserves on the continent, including the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, along with more off-the-beaten-path spots like Mkomazi and Tarangire National Parks. These will be very small group tours and will stay at some of the best safari lodges around.

Itineraries will be updated with plenty of time before the next departure. Our itineraries usually show minimal changes between years, but some substantive updates can occur as birding access and information evolves. For any specific questions regarding these trips, please contact us.
