Udzungwa Mountains National Park |
The Tanzanian landscape includes several small isolated mountain ranges. Each of these have a unique mixture of habitats and animal species and none more so than the Udzungwa Mountains National Park. Home to at least ten species of primate and several recently discovered species of bird, a rainforest trek here will be one you never forget. |
 |
A huge contrast to its neighbour, Mikumi National Park, Udzungwa Mountains has only recently gained its status as a National Park. Swathed in a unique and fascinating rain forest, the mountains have been untouched for thousands of years due to the taboos of traditional beliefs. Still rarely visited, Udzungwa is a must for those looking for this the true 'country of contrasts'. |

Accommodation
There is no permanent accommodation inside Udzungwa National Park. However, as it is only a comfortable one hour drive from Mikumi National Park, we suggest a visit as a day excursion from either Vuma Hills Tented Camp or Foxes Safari Camp. |

Activities
Pack some sturdy shoes, as a trek up to Sanje Waterfall is no 'walk in the park'. Breathtaking, overwhelming views will greet those who make the effort to reach the top of this the 'piece d' resistance' of Udzungwa National Park. There are no roads inside the park, but there are plenty of walks of varying length and difficulty to explore beneath the canopy rainforest and cascading mountain streams. |
