  • Buffaloes: Cape buffaloes are known to inhabit the montane forests and moorland zones of Kilimanjaro, although sightings are less common compared to other wildlife species.
  • Antelopes: Various antelope species, including elands, bushbucks, and duikers, can be found in the lower altitude zones of Kilimanjaro, particularly in the forested areas.
  • Birdlife: Kilimanjaro National Park is a haven for birdwatchers, with over 250 bird species recorded within its borders. Highlights include the colorful Hartlaub's turaco, the elusive mountain wagtail, and the impressive lammergeier.
