Suggested stay1 to 2 nights

Getting thereAbout 1 to 1.5 hours by road from Mikumi National Park

The Udzungwa Mountains are part of the ancient Eastern Arc range, covered in rainforest and full of plants and animals found nowhere else on earth. There are no roads inside the park: you explore it on foot.

The most popular hike climbs to the Sanje waterfall, with views over the Kilombero valley from the top. Along the way look for the Udzungwa red colobus and the Sanje crested mangabey, two primates that live only here.
