UDZUNGWA MOUNTAINS tour
UDZUNGWA MOUNTAINS
Located west of Dar es Salaam, the Udzungwa Mountains rise up from the western edge of the Selous Game Reserve. The mountains are the largest and most biodiverse chain of a dozen large forest-swathed mountains that rise majestically from the flat coastal scrub of eastern Tanzania.
Magnet for hikers
An excellent network of forest trails leads climbers to the peaks. There are five distinct trails covering the forests and mountain peaks and offer variying levels of difficulty for everyone from novices to experienced trekkers.
Views well worth the effort
From the peaks of the mountains you have an incredible view toward the Selous Game Reserve and to the distant Indian Ocean coast and it is well worth the effort. Ascending Mwanihana peak e.g., the second-highest point in the Udzungwa range, is a two-days-tour. Beside the trails there are no roads, so hikers have the area all to themselves.
