Mahale Mountains National Park

Mahale contains at least world’s largest protected population (approx. 700-1000) of the eastern subspecies of Chimpanzee.

The area contains at least 337 birds species , many of which are rare and endemic to the Albertine Rift. Eg Pel’s fishing owl.

One of the unusual things about mahale is the wide variety of habitat types that it contains. The park is a mosaic of overlapping rainforest, woodland, bamboo forest, Montane forest and mountain grasslands, meaning that mahale can support a unique mix of flora and fauna that rely on the various different habitats.

Mahale contains 8 (Possibly 9) primates in addition to chimps; these are yellow baboons, blue monkeys, red colobus, pied colobus, and vervet monkeys two or three species of Galago.

Lake Tanganyika, which is part of Mahale, is both the world second longest and second deepest freshwater lake being 673 in length and 60-80km in width.

The fresh water fish fauna of lake Tanganyika is one of the most diverse in the world. The Lake is home to at least 400 species of fish, about 250 of which are cichlids, and 98% of which are endemic (the occur nowhere else on earth)

Hifadhi ya Kitulo ni hifadhi ya taifa la Tanzania iliyopo katika mikoa ya Mbeya na Njombe. Awali ilijulikana k**a Elton Plateau baada ya mvumbuzi Fredrick Elton kupita eneo hili mnamo mwaka 1870.
Mwaka 1960 Shirika la Chakula na Kilimo (FAO) lilichukua eneo hili kwa ajili ya ukulima wa ngano na ufugaji wa kondoo.
Baadaye likageuzwa kuwa shamba la ng’ombe ambalo lipo hadi leo. Kutokana na umuhimu wa eneo hili wadau mbalimbali wa mazingira walipendekeza eneo hili litangazwe kuwa hifadhi ya taifa ili kulinda umaridadi wa maua na mimea adimu inayopatikana ndani ya eneo hili.
Mwaka 2005, Kitulo ilitangazwa rasmi kuwa hifadhi ya Taifa ikijumuisha sehemu ya eneo la shamba la mifugo, Msitu wa Livingstone na bonde la Numbi kiasi cha kilometa za mraba 412.9 ndani ya mwinuko wa mita 2100 na 3000 juu ya UB.
Hifadhi hii inasifika kwa kuwa na maua aina mbalimbali na zaidi ya aina 30 hupatikana Kitulo pekee na maeneo kusini mwa Tanzania.
