UDZUNGWA MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK

Overview

The Udzungwa Mountains National Park is perhaps one of the least-known treasures of Tanzania. Within this park’s 1,990 square kilometers is a hiker’s paradise. A four-hour hike in the bush and hills is rewarded with a spectacular view of the Sanje Waterfall cascading 170 meters to the forested valley below.

The closed canopy forest provides a tranquil environment with the sounds from the hundreds of bird species, some only found in this area, creating a symphony of nature. The park is home to six primate species including the red Colobus monkey and Sanje crested mangabey which has only been spotted in this park.
