Tanzania’s fauna is
notable both for sheer numbers and variety, with representatives of 430 species
and subspecies among the country’s more than four million wild animals. These
include zebras, elephants, wildebeests, buffaloes, hippos, giraffes, antelopes,
dik-diks, gazelles, elands and kudus. Tanzania is also known for its predators,
with Serengeti National
Park one of the best places for spotting lions, cheetahs and
leopards. There are also populations of hyenas and wild dogs and, in Gombe Stream and Mahale Mountains
National Parks, bands of chimpanzees. See the Wildlife Guide for descriptions
of some of these animals. In addition, Tanzania has over 60, 000 insect
species, about 25 types of reptiles or amphibians, 100 species of snakes and
numerous fish species.
Complementing this
are over 1000 species of birds, including various types of kingfisher,
hornbills (around Amani in the eastern Usambaras), bee-eaters (along the Rufiji
and Wami Rivers), fish eagles (Lake Victoria) and flamingos (Lakes Manyara and
Natron, among other places). There are also many birds that are unique to
Tanzania, including the Udzungwa forest partridge, the Pemba green pigeon,
the Usambara weaver and the Usambara eagle owl.
