UDZUNGWA MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK
Part of Tanzania’s Eastern Arc, Udzungwa protects ancient rainforests threaded with waterfalls and mountain streams. Canopy trails reveal endemic primates—Udzungwa red colobus and Sanje mangabey—while forest clearings and ridges offer wide views over the Kilombero Valley. It’s a refreshing contrast to savanna, ideal for hikers and birders.

HISTORY
UDZUNGWA MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK
Udzungwa safeguards a chain of ancient Eastern Arc forests. Trails climb through evergreen gullies to viewpoints above the Kilombero Valley, passing waterfalls and pools fed by year‑round springs.
The park is renowned for endemic primates, rare amphibians and excellent birding. Its cool canopy and waterfall routes make it a serene complement to classic savanna safaris.
A Mountain Rainforest Refuge
Evergreen and semi‑evergreen forests blanket ridges and valleys. Waterfalls tumble through volcanic sandstone, and fern‑lined streams provide cool retreats for forest wildlife.
