The Dendrosenecio, also known as Giant Senecio tree, is a plant endemic to high altitude mountains in East Africa.
A veritable forest of Dendrosenecio trees is found on the southern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro – one of the mountain’s distinct scenic highlights for climbers on the Lemosho, Machame or Umbwe Routes.
You will also get to see a few rare specimens of the Dendrosenecio species when following the Northern Circuit on the Shira Plateau.
