Tanzania’s mountain endemics, many of which have only been described recently, have only been seen by a handful of dedicated birders. This tours offers a unique opportunity to seek out the several difficult-to-find endemic and scarce species in the relatively unexplored south of the country. This tour is different, in having no set day-to-day itinerary, in order to maximise the chances of locating the difficult forest-skulkers, which can sometimes be found in hours, and sometimes days. We will visit the Eastern Arc Mountains (including the Udzungwas and Ulugurus) and Pemba.

We also offer a Northern Tanzania Birding Tour, which offers a special range of endemics in the best wildlife watching and most scenic areas such as Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater and more.
