Udzungwa Mountains National Park

Forest trails, waterfall scenery and a remarkable mountain environment explored on foot.
Udzungwa Mountains National Park — Tanzania

A closer look

Udzungwa Mountains National Park offers a change from vehicle-based safari. Forested slopes, streams and walking trails make this a destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts, with the Sanje waterfalls among its best-known landscapes.

Choose a guided walk that suits your fitness and available time. The forest is home to distinctive primates and birds, but wildlife is wild and sightings depend on the day. Combine the mountains with nearby Mikumi for a varied southern journey.

Best time to visit

Trails can be steep and slippery after rain. Choose the timing and walk with park guidance and suitable footwear.

Getting here

Reach the park’s walking areas by road, commonly as an extension from Mikumi. Confirm the trailhead and guide arrangements in advance.
