The Arusha National Park should be in all the travel routes of bird watchers, because thanks to the different habitats present here, more than 400 species of birds are found in the park, that is a very high number for such a small park.
Moreover, just for the presence of several lakes, both of freshwater and of alkaline water, here is located the highest concentration of aquatic birds of the entire Tanzania.
The best time for bird watching is during the months from October to April, when, in addition to resident birds in the park are also present the migratory ones who come here from North Africa, Europe and Asia.
