Amani Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Tanga Region, Tanzania.
The Amani Nature Reserve encompasses 83 square kilometers of tropical cloud forest within the East Usambara Mountains, containing numerous endemic plant species.
The Amani Hill Research Station, established in 1902, became a center for scientific studies, particularly focusing on malaria research after World War II.
The Shambaa people maintain traditional connections to the forest through sustainable harvesting of timber, medicinal plants, honey, and seasonal fruits.
Three main routes lead to the reserve: 330 kilometers from Dar es Salaam, 446 kilometers from Arusha, and 74 kilometers from Tanga city.
The reserve contains African violets, ranks as the twelfth best global bird watching location, and features three distinct waterfalls: Zigi, Chemka, and Ndola.
