With its 350 species of vascular plants including the 45 varieties of terrestrial orchid, Kitulo National Park is a rare botanical marvel in Tanzania. Locals refer to it as the Bustani ya Mungu and dubbed the Serengeti of flowers.

Some of these species are stunning yellow orange red hot poker, multitude of orchids, proteas, geraniums, giant lobelias, lilies, aster daisies and varieties of aloes.
