The story of this place

The Mufindi Highlands in Tanzania’s southern highlands offer a cool, peaceful retreat of rolling hills, tea estates, forests, lakes and countryside scenery. The area is a welcome change from the heat and dust of the lowland safari parks and is well suited to travellers who enjoy walking, birdwatching, cycling and time in nature. Visitors can explore tea-growing landscapes, discover waterfalls and forest trails, or simply enjoy the slower pace and fresh highland air. Mufindi can be included as a relaxing extension to a southern Tanzania itinerary, particularly for those travelling between Ruaha, Iringa and other highland destinations.
