Udzungwa Mountains
Hiking Paradise & Endemic Primate Haven
About Udzungwa Mountains
The Udzungwa Mountains are Tanzania's answer to the Amazon — a hotspot of biodiversity with more endemic species than almost anywhere else in East Africa. Unlike other Tanzanian parks, Udzungwa is a hiking-only destination with no vehicle game drives, which keeps prices low and visitor numbers minimal. The Sanje Waterfalls trail is one of Tanzania's most spectacular day hikes, plunging 170 metres through pristine forest. Budget travellers love Udzungwa for its rock-bottom park fees, affordable local guides, and the chance to spot primates found nowhere else on Earth, including the Udzungwa Red Colobus and the critically endangered Sanje Mangabey. It pairs perfectly with Mikumi for a budget-friendly Southern Circuit combo.
