Come Prepared. Every habitat must be explored

On a Tanzania safari, birders should be prepared for various terrains and climates. Every habitat must be explored, from dusty plains, muddy paths, humid forests, and long hikes. Packing light and comfortable clothing with warm and waterproof options is recommended. Neutral colors will help blend in, while sturdy hiking boots will be helpful when clambering over rocks and fallen trees in search of rare bird species.
