SEASONAL FEATURE
Bird Migration Season
Tanzania hosts a remarkable mix of migratory and resident birdlife during the green season, when wetlands, lakeshores, and coastal habitats come alive. It’s a prime time for birdwatching, guided nature walks, and photography - with dramatic skies, lush scenery, and fewer crowds in many areas.
Why it matters: Tanzania lies along major Afro-Eurasian migratory routes, making the green season one of the richest periods for bird diversity and behaviour.
What to look for: Migratory waterbirds, breeding plumage, active nesting sites, and heightened bird activity around wetlands and floodplains.
Where to experience it: Key birding hotspots include lake systems, seasonal wetlands, floodplains, and coastal ecosystems - particularly areas with year-round water sources and protected habitats.
Best for: Birdwatchers, photographers, eco-travelers, and visitors seeking slower, nature-rich experiences beyond peak safari seasons.
