8-Days Serengeti Bird watching experience overview
Serengeti National Park birds are recorded to be over 500 bird species roaming the vast expanse of Serengeti National Park. With the fact that the Serengeti National Park holds one of the oldest ecosystems, it is still one of the best birding destinations to inhabit several endemic bird species. The Serengeti-Mara ecosystem inhabits some of the rarest bird species, including five Serengeti bird species that can only be spotted here and nowhere else, including the Grey-Crested Spurfowl which is commonly seen around the Seronera Area which is the central and most popular region of Tanzania, Rufus-tailed Weaver, Usambiro Barbet, Grey-Crested helmet-shrike, and the Fischer’s Lovebird.
