Safari summary

Kitulo National Park, often dubbed the "Serengeti of Flowers" or "Garden of God," is a unique and breathtaking protected area nestled in the southern highlands of Tanzania. Unlike traditional safari destinations focused on large game, Kitulo is renowned for its extraordinary floral diversity, particularly during the rainy season when a riot of wildflowers carpets the expansive grasslands. Situated on the Kitulo Plateau at an elevation of approximately 2,600 meters (8,500 ft), the park offers stunning montane landscapes, numerous waterfalls, and a tranquil wilderness experience. While large mammals are less common, the park is a paradise for birdwatchers and offers excellent opportunities for hiking and guided nature walks amidst its botanical wonders. It's a truly off-the-beaten-path gem for nature enthusiasts seeking a different kind of Tanzanian adventure.
