About Udzungwa Mountains National Park

Part of the ancient Eastern Arc mountain range, Udzungwa Mountains National Park is a paradise for hikers, botanists, and primate enthusiasts. Often called the 'Galápagos of Africa', Udzungwa contains vast pristine rainforests boasting high concentrations of endemic plant and animal species found nowhere else on Earth. --- - Sanje Waterfalls & Endemic Wildlife • Sanje Waterfall Hike: The most popular 4-hour return trail climbs through rainforest canopy to a series of three waterfalls plunging 170 meters, concluding with a refreshing swim in natural plunge pools. • Endemic Primates: Keep an eye out for the endangered Udzungwa Red Colobus and Sanje Crested Mangabey monkeys found exclusively in this park. Combine Udzungwa mountain trekking with a Mikumi game drive on an active southern tour with Ndito Travel.
