## Udzungwa Mountains National Park

Nicknamed the "Galapagos of Africa," the Udzungwa Mountains are a range of ancient, biologically unique rainforest-covered peaks holding an extraordinary concentration of species found nowhere else on Earth.

Unlike Tanzania's savannah parks, Udzungwa is explored on foot along forest trails, with hikes ranging from a couple of hours to multi-day treks culminating at the 170-meter Sanje Waterfall.

### Wildlife & Highlights

The park is a magnet for primate enthusiasts, home to endemic species like the Sanje mangabey and Udzungwa red colobus, alongside excellent birdwatching.

### Best Time To Visit

June to October, the dry season, for the most comfortable hiking conditions on forest trails.
