I've alluded to it in other posts but we have recently started a Bird Club for Kilimanjaro and Arusha regions. Ana is a wildlife biologist with experience in birds, raptors to be specific. After doing some research we realized there weren't any permanent groups, rather there were a few fragmented posts from visitors and temporary residents. We posted some in some forums and found several interested people residing in Arusha and Kilimanjaro.
We have since organized ourselves for bi-weekly trips to various natural areas. Our core team is myself and Ana, a local student and excellent birder named Furaha, a Masaai and recently graduated wildlife guide named Lucas, and a British woman (though she's resided in Tanzania for 30 years) named Carolyn. We also have a team of students from Arusha that are mainly interested in the club to gain experience for potential jobs as wildlife guides. Although I'll report on our trips here, albeit with less focus on the birding, I figured I'd share the link to the bird specific blog. Enjoy!
