Kitulo National Park

Kitulo National Park is a rare botanical marvel, which is home to a full 350 species of vascular plants, which also includes a variety of terrestrial orchids. These grow into a beautiful wildflower display of breathtaking scale and diversity during the main rainy season of late November to April. The Kitulo National Park has unique wildflower species. With birds singing and migrating to the highland forests, Kitulo Park is the newest tourist attraction in Tanzania. This park is known as God’s Garden and it is one of its kind in Africa where wildflowers, birds, and harmonious grass-eating mammals dominate.

Best Time To Visit

With the well-established network of roads, Kitulo National Park can be visited all year round, although Kitulo’s dry season only lasts between May and November.

How to get there

Charter flights from Dar Es Saalam or Arusha are the easiest way to reach the plateau. A tough but spectacular day’s drive from Mbeya (550 km/340 miles), or in the dry season only from Kigoma (390 km/240 miles) is also an option. It is possible to reach Mpanda by rail from Dar via Tabora, then to catch public transport to Sitalike, where game drives can be arranged. If traveling overland, allow plenty of time to get there and back.
