06/03/2024

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology has recorded more than 30 birding hotspots in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with the highest number of sightings in Ngorongoro Crater — a total of 631 species! Many of these birds gather around Lake Magadi, a saline lake at the bottom of the crater that fills every year with greater and lesser flamingos. Keep an eye out for ostriches, golden-winged and eastern double-collared sunbirds, stonechats, Jackson’s widowbird, hornbills, black-crowned night herons, pink-backed pelicans, black-chested snake eagles, and white-headed vultures.

Birdwatching in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area can be rewarding year-round, but the greatest diversity of species can be seen from November to May. During this time, migrant species arrive, and resident birds are more active due to increased food availability.

Featured birds:
- White-faced Whistling-Duck
- Yellow-necked Spurfowl
- Lemon Dove
- Collared Pratincole

5 Birds to See in Africa

1. The African Pygmy-Kingfisher is monogamous. The pair excavates a burrow in a sandbank or in an existing mammal burrow.
2. White-faced Ducks tend to breed in temporary wetlands and then move to permanent wetlands to molt over the winter.
3. The Eurasian Golden Oriole breeds in Eurasia and then spends the winter in sub-Saharan Africa and India. This Oriole was photographed in Ethiopia.
4. The Red-billed Firefinch eats mainly small grass seeds
5. The Lappet-faced Vulture has the largest wing span of all the vultures in Africa.

In North America, termites are often seen as pests. But in Africa, they are known for creating **architectural marvels**.

The mound-building termites of Africa don’t live in (or eat) human housing. These social insects build elaborate and complex structures called mounds, which can reach several yards in height. These structures create climate-control for the nest below, maintaining a constant temperature and humidity for the termite colony, thanks to a sophisticated ventilation system.

Every year, hundreds of tourists travel to Africa to lay their eyes on the tree of life, formally known as the baobab tree.

Identified by its large, swollen, smooth, and shiny trunk and branches, the Baobab provides shelter, clothing, food, and water for the animal and human inhabitants of the African savannah regions.

Due to the enormous size of baobabs, they have historically been used as a place for shops, a prison, a house, a storage barn, and even as a bus shelter. Imagine being imprisoned in a tree!

The variety of wildlife at Mana Pools National Park is simply astounding, from majestic elephants wandering freely along the riverbanks to stealthy lions stalking their prey in the grasslands.

With around 100 African wild dogs in six packs, Mana Pools is one of the best places in the world to see these endangered canines. Smaller, mostly nocturnal mammals include the charismatic honey badger and endangered pangolin.

More than 370 bird species have been recorded at Mana Pools, earning it a designation as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International. From colorful carmine bee-eaters to majestic fish eagles and elusive African skimmers dragging their beaks through the water’s surface in search of fish—there are endless opportunities to witness nature’s symphony in full swing.

Planning an African adventure? Your health is key!

Here's a quick pre-travel health checklist:

- Get routine vaccinations updated: Measles, mumps, rubella, polio, etc.
- Look into the yellow fever vaccine: It may be required for entry to some countries.
- Talk to your doctor about malaria prevention: Medication and mosquito bite prevention are crucial when visiting areas where malaria is present. (Most countries where malaria is present have some areas affected by malaria and other areas that are malaria free, so tell your doctor your full itinerary.)
- Check for electricity: If you have medical equipment that needs to be plugged in, like a CPAP machine, select camps that can provide electricity at the times you need it.
- Stay informed: Discuss any health concerns with your doctor well before departure.

Ensure a healthy and unforgettable African experience!
