🪶 Ostrich, Africa’s Fastest Bird on Foot

The ostrich, the world’s largest and fastest-running bird, is a common and exciting sight on safaris through Tanzania’s Northern Circuit. Found in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara, these giant flightless birds are hard to miss.

⚖️ Weight: Up to 150 kg

🏃‍♂️ Speed: Up to 70 km/h (43 mph)

🥚 Eggs: Largest of any bird – up to 15 cm wide!

Ostriches live in small groups and often roam the plains alongside zebras and antelopes. Males are easily recognized by their bold black-and-white feathers, while females are more brownish for camouflage.

Watching ostriches sprint across the savannah or perform their courtship dance is a safari highlight for many visitors.
