Udzungwa Mountains National Park is a hiker’s paradise and a biodiversity hotspot in southern Tanzania. This unique park, part of the ancient Eastern Arc Mountains, has no roads and is only accessible on foot. It is a treasure trove of incredible biodiversity, boasting tropical rainforests, mountain forests, and grasslands. The park is renowned for its network of hiking trails that lead to spectacular waterfalls, most famously the Sanje Waterfalls, which cascade 170 meters into a lush valley. Udzungwa is also a haven for primates, with six species, two of which—the Iringa red colobus and the Sanje crested mangabey—are found nowhere else in the world. This is the perfect destination for an active, immersive, and off-the-beaten-path experience.
