Kitulo National Park
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.
