Tanzania's birds are among the most beautiful in the world. Yet they're not the first thing that springs to mind when you think of an African safari. Yet they have much to offer, both in terms of beauty and rarity. You'll need an eagle eye to spot them. Birdwatchers are sure to love the Serengeti. And for the rest of you, it's a great way to learn about the joys of stalking Africa's majestic birds. There are currently no fewer than 1,000 different species of bird. Some are extinct and have not been seen for many years, others like the red-tailed histurgopse are endemic to the region, while the ostrich proudly claims to be the largest bird in the world, yet... it can't fly!
