Expect great bird watching around the wetlands of Silalei swamp and along the Tarangire River. Look out for yellow-collared lovebirds, hammerkops, helmeted guineafowl, long-toed lapwings, brown parrots, white-bellied go away-away birds, and a variety of the kingfishers. You may hear a cry that sounds similar to the American bald eagle but is in fact its look-alike cousin, the African fish eagle.

Their diverse diet also includes plants, rodents, insects, and birds. Survival depends on total co-operation among tribe members.
