Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Zanzibar Bishop sighting in Tsavo West National Park on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 291st most-seen of the 380 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Zanzibar Bishop in Tsavo West National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–March and May–December, the lowest months. Those are among Tsavo West National Park's wettest months, with about 85 mm of rain a month against 5 mm in July.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Zanzibar Bishop 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 5
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Zanzibar Bishop sightings, Tsavo West National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Mkomazi National Park (Tanzania, about 20%), Mikumi National Park (Tanzania, about 10%) and Amboseli National Park (Kenya, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Zanzibar Bishop is recorded against all the birds logged in Tsavo West National Park (17 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.
