This Kenya and Tanzania birding safari crosses the border at Namanga to combine Tsavo and Amboseli with Tanzania’s northern circuit.
This Kenya and Tanzania birding safari is a two-country journey for birders who also want the great game parks. It starts in Tsavo West, crosses into Tanzania near Amboseli and visits every park on the northern circuit.
Tanzania adds several birds you will not see in Kenya, such as the ashy starling and Fischer’s lovebird, while Kenya’s dry south adds Taveta golden weaver and many arid-country species.
Why choose this Kenya and Tanzania birding safari?
- Tsavo West and Amboseli: sandgrouse, pygmy falcon and Taveta golden weaver.
- Angata plains: a search for the rare Beesley’s lark.
- Arusha NP and Tarangire: turacos, trogons, ashy starling and yellow-collared lovebird.
