Kitulo is the first park in
tropical Africa to be recognized largely for its floristic significance. It is Known locally as ‘God’s Garden’ or the ‘Serengeti
of Flowers’. Kitulo plateau has had over 350 species of plants
documented to date. These include 45 species of orchids, many of which are not
found anywhere else in the world. The plateau is home to some important bird
species, again many endemic to Tanzania, including the endangered blue
swallow, Denham’s bustard, mountain marsh widow, Njombe cisticola, and Kipengere
seedeater. Some of the world’s rarest butterflies also inhabit the
area.
