The slopes of Kilimanjaro have a diverse collection of flora.

Most species are endemic to the mountain and the trek offers an excellent opportunity of viewing and photographing these flora. The sheer dimensions of some will take your breath away.

The photo opps are endless!
Feeling tall? Stand next to the protea flower.
Tired? Crouch inside a natural donut formation of erica arborea.

All guides on Kilimanjaro are trained by the Tanzanian Parks department and will have atleast basic knowlegde of the vegetation you will encounter on Kili's slopes.

Take pics; Spend some time with your guide to learn more about the flora.
