Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tabora Cisticola sighting in Serengeti National Park on a given day, based on 51 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 308th most-seen of the 469 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tabora Cisticola in Serengeti National Park on a given day, against under 5% in December to October, the lowest months. That is one of Serengeti National Park's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain against 5 mm in July.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tabora Cisticola sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Tabora Cisticola sightings, Serengeti National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Lake Mburo National Park (Uganda, about 20%), Akagera National Park (Rwanda, about 20%) and Masai Mara National Reserve (Kenya, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tabora Cisticola is recorded against all the birds logged in Serengeti National Park (51 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
