Mount Rungwe, Dormant volcano in Mbeya Region, Tanzania.
Mount Rungwe rises 2,981 meters above sea level in southern Tanzania, featuring a 4-kilometer-wide caldera and slopes covered with montane forests.
The mountain was designated as a Catchment Forest in 1949 and received Nature Forest Reserve status in 2009 to strengthen environmental protection.
The Nyakyusa people maintain traditional ceremonial grounds at Masieto on Mount Rungwe, connecting their heritage to this natural landmark.
Visitors must register at Tukuyu's Ofisi za Muhifadi ya Milimani Rungwe office and obtain a guide before starting the ten-hour trek.
The southeastern slopes receive three meters of annual rainfall, making this area the wettest recorded location in Tanzania.
