Zimbabwe Birds


As you may expect from a top birding country, Zimbabwe birds are plentiful – many endemic and migratory species can be found here across the country’s various habitats. There are 20 IBAs (Important Birding Areas) in Zimbabwe, with around 651 species of bird to be found, 13 of which are endangered.

Birdlife in Zimbabwe


Birdlife in Zimbabwe is varied across the different habitats in the country.  African fish eagles can be seen around Lake Kariba, a range of raptors are seen around Hwange National Park, while waterbirds and waders are found near the border with Mozambique, while other birds of prey such as owl, hawk and falcon can also be found across Zimbabwe.

Birding Zimbabwe


Mana Pools National Park is the best place for birding Zimbabwe. Between April and December African skimmers breed on the river's exposed sand banks, while huge flocks of carmine bee-eaters and whitefronted bee-eaters can be seen in September.
