Chyulu Hills National Park

Sprawled over the youngest mountain range in the world, the Chyulu Hills National Park combines breathtaking volcanic scenery with rich wildlife. Extensive forests cover conical mountains, creating thrilling caves for underground exploration. The snow-covered peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro are clearly visible from the crest of the Chyulu Hills, rising in the distance beyond spectacular views over rolling plains of fertile volcanic soil. A subterranean river pushes above ground in fresh water springs on the surrounding plains.

The thick forests shelter black rhino, while lion and cheetah can be seen on the plains and leopard inhabit the rocky heights. Buffalo, elephant, eland, bushbuck, warthog, wildebeest and zebra can all the spotted. Located in the south-west of the Park, Lake Jipe is a birding enthusiast’s paradise.
