During the birdwatching experience, your guide will help you identify a variety of resident and migratory bird species found around Moshi and the Kilimanjaro region. Depending on the season and location, you may spot colorful kingfishers, sunbirds, herons, weavers, hornbills, egrets, and other native species.
