Kitulo National Park

Safari Highlights:

Visit the well-watered volcanic soils of Kitulo Plateau, perched between the rugged peaks of the Kipengere, Poroto and Livingstone Mountains, which support the largest and most important montane grassland in Tanzania.

Experience the magic of “Bustani ya Mungu” - God’s Garden - so-called by local people and dubbed “the Serengeti of flowers” by botanists.  Kitulo is the first national park in tropical Africa to be gazetted largely for its floral significance.

Explore this watershed of the Great Ruaha River which supports not only a multitude of orchids but also the stunning red-hot poker and a variety of aloes, proteas, geraniums, giant lobelias, lilies and aster daisies.

Delight in the birds of Kitulo, an ornithologist’s paradise. The rare Denham’s bustard is resident, alongside a breeding colony of the endangered blue swallow and such range-restricted species as mountain marsh widow, Njombe cisticola and Kipengere seedeater.

Marvel at the endemic species of butterfly, chameleon, lizard and frog which serve to further enhance the magnificent biological wealth of this rare botanical wonderland.

Discover Kitulo by 4WD  from Chimala, 78 km east of Mbeya. Once in the park there are good hiking trails across grasslands, and hill climbing on the neighboring ranges can be arranged.

There is no accommodation in this park, though three special campsites are planned for the near future.
