Day Birding & Big Game
|
Tanzania is with
no doubt the very endemic rich East African country
and probably one of the few countries where three
endemic birds can be seen in one tree and can figure
out what was tick one and three. Such species can
be Rufous-tailed Weaver, Ashy Starling and Yellow-collared
Lovebird sitting in one tree at the entrance gate
of Tarangire National Park. Not forgetting the “Pemba
Four” (Sunbird, Green Pigeon, White-eye and
Scops Owl) which sometimes will appear in one single
morning. In search of the “Usambara Specials”
brings the participants to another sort of endemic
mountains of the Eastern Arc. A two weeks birding
trip on the Northern part of the country will brings
to over half of the endemics found there. .
