TAITA HILLS WILDLIFE SANCTUARY
TAITA HILLS WILDLIFE SANCTUARY
Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary is an integral part of the Eastern Arc forests classified as a biodiversity hotspot. The topography is generally mountainous that offers breath taking landscape views of the Kilimanjaro, Pare, Uluguru mountains and the clusters of Taita Hills with a seasonal river dividing the sanctuary into valleys and lowland plains. Before the establishment of THWS on Bura Block along Mwatate-Taveta Road, the land was used as a game hunting ground. Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary was established in 1970 to make the area more attractive to wildlife and tourists, allow conservation and promote wildlife viewing. The sanctuary covers an area of 28,000 acres of mosaic habitat where the plant physiognomy is riverine forest, savanna wood and grassland. The vegetation formation is usually dense, stratified and always dominated by Acacia /Commiphora trees and may appear to be evergreen in wet areas such as in the central lowlands of the sanctuary. More than 50 species of large mammals and 300 species of birds have been recorded in Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary.
