Journey Through Tanzania, Your Essential Travel Resources
Kitulo National Park, often referred to as the "Garden of God" or "Serengeti of Flowers," is located in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania. Established in 2005, it is renowned for its rich botanical diversity, featuring over 350 species of vascular plants, including 45 types of terrestrial orchids. This montane grassland is situated on the Kitulo Plateau, which lies between the Kipengere and Poroto mountain ranges. The park spans approximately 412.9 square kilometres and is one of the few protected areas in tropical Africa known primarily for its floral diversity rather than its fauna.
Biodiversity: Kitulo National Park is home to a unique array of flora and fauna, with a special emphasis on its botanical diversity.
Elevation: The park is situated at an elevation of 2,600 meters above sea level, providing a cool and refreshing climate.
Birdlife: The park is a critical habitat for several bird species.
The Best Time to Visit Kitulo National Park is during the wet season, from November to April. During this period, the flowers are in full bloom, creating a spectacular display of colour. The dry season, from May to October, is less colourful but offers good hiking conditions and clearer views of the landscape.
Botanical Tours: Explore the vast array of wildflowers and orchids.
Hiking: Enjoy hiking trails that offer stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.
Bird Watching: Spot rare and endangered bird species.
Picnicking: Relax at designated picnic spots amidst beautiful natural surroundings.
Photography: Capture the breathtaking landscapes and diverse plant life.
Blue Swallow: This endangered bird species migrates to the park during the wet season.
Mountain Marsh Widow: Another rare bird that finds sanctuary in the park.
Reedbuck: These antelopes are often seen grazing in the grasslands.
Chameleon: Various species of chameleons can be spotted in the park.
Butterflies: Kitulo is home to numerous butterfly species, adding to the park's vibrant atmosphere.
Finally, Kitulo National Park is a unique destination that offers visitors a rare opportunity to witness one of the most vibrant and diverse floral displays in Africa. Whether you're a botanist, birdwatcher, hiker, or nature enthusiast, Kitulo provides a memorable experience amidst stunning natural beauty.
We hope our Kitulo National Park travel guide has inspired you to include this incredible national park in your Tanzanian adventure.

Incredible trip with our incredible guide, Danny. Not the usual safari: we spent time living with the Maasai and explored 3 different parks seeing all the animals (except the leopard - this time!).
