Birds & Birding in Nyanga National Park

Nyanga Safaris Nyanga National Park

Part of the globally important Eastern Zimbabwe Mountains Endemic Bird Area (EBA), Nyanga National Park is a top birding destination with 300-plus species recorded. Near-endemics present in Nyanga include Gurney’s sugarbird (often seen feeding on aloes or proteas) and the forest-dwelling Chirinda apalis and Swynnerton’s robin, although most forest specials are more easily seen in the nearby Vumba Mountains. Migratory birds, present from November to April, include 5% of the global breeding population of the endangered blue swallow.
