Chelinda Camp : Birding

Birding in Nyika National Park’s diverse habitats

Nyika National Park hosts over four hundred bird species, including rare and range-restricted types like the Black-lored Cisticola and Blue Swallow. The park’s habitats vary from forests to grasslands, supporting endemic subspecies such as the Red-winged Francolin and Rufous-naped Lark. Birdwatching is year-round, but early summer—October and November—offers the best experience as many birds breed and migrants arrive. Chelinda Camp provides access to these birding opportunities within the park, allowing guests to observe a wide variety of species in their natural environment.
