Why Visit Udzungwa Mountains National Park?

A Biodiversity Hotspot

Uncover the secrets of one of the most biodiverse landscapes in Africa. Udzungwa Mountains National Park is part of the Eastern Arc Mountains, which are often referred to as the "Galápagos of Africa" due to their high endemism of flora and fauna. This park alone harbors species not found anywhere else on the planet, including the Iringa red colobus monkey and the Sanje crested mangabey.

Hiker’s Paradise

With no roads cutting through Udzungwa Mountains National Park, the only way to truly explore this pristine wilderness is on foot. This makes it a haven for hikers, offering numerous trails that range from short woodland walks to challenging mountain treks. The most famous of these is the Sanje Waterfall trail that rewards trekkers with breathtaking views of the 170-meter high waterfall plunging into the forested valley below.

Birdwatcher’s Dream

For bird enthusiasts, Udzungwa is nothing short of paradise. Over 400 bird species have been recorded in the park, some of which are endemic to the region. The lovely Rufous-winged sunbird and the Udzungwa partridge are just a couple of the feathered treasures awaiting avid birdwatchers.

Captivating Landscapes

From rainforest canopies to grasslands, and from mountainous ridges to sparkling waterfalls, Udzungwa offers landscapes that are as varied as they are stunning. The park’s elevation ranges significantly, which creates dramatic variations in scenery and climate within just a short distance.
