Udzungwa Mountains
National Park
Located west of Dar es Salaam, the Udzungwa Mountains rise up from
the western edge of the Selous Game Reserve. Vervet monkeys play
high in the forest canopy, and small forest antelope can be viewed
at the right time of day. Botanical diversity is exceptional, and
the park is host to a large number of endangered bird species. Views
from the peaks of the mountains, towards the Selous Game Reserve and
the distant Indian Ocean coast, are incredible and well worth the
effort.
The Udzungwa Mountains offer visitors the opportunity to view
several species of primates and endangered birds in a beautiful
African rain forest. Five distinct trails cover the forests and
mountain peaks within the park, and offer varying levels of
difficulty for everyone from novices to experienced trekkers. Better
yet, there are no roads through the Undzungwa Mountains National
Park, so hikers have the area all to themselves.
