The story of this place
Udzungwa Mountains National Park protects a richly varied section of Tanzania’s Eastern Arc Mountains. Its habitats include tropical rainforest, montane forest, miombo woodland, grassland and steppe, supporting an exceptional range of plants, birds and primates. Several species found here are rare or endemic, including the Iringa red colobus and Sanje mangabey. Hiking is one of the best ways to experience the park, with trails leading through forest to viewpoints and the impressive Sanje Waterfalls. Udzungwa is especially attractive to nature lovers and active travellers who want to explore Tanzania beyond the traditional game-drive safari.
