Udzungwa Mountains National Park

Udzungwa Mountains National Park is a protected area in Tanzania that spans from lower forests to mountain peaks exceeding 2,500 meters. The terrain features continuous rainforest with waterfalls, caves, and trails open to visitors for exploration.

The park was established in 1992 to protect the region's unique forests and rare animals. This creation was part of Tanzania's broader effort to preserve its natural treasures for future generations.

The park shelters primate species found nowhere else on Earth, and visitors walking the trails may encounter them moving through the canopy. These rare animals shape how people view the importance of protecting this land.

Visitors should bring sturdy footwear and water, as trails vary in difficulty and pass through wet forest areas. The dry season offers the easiest conditions for walking and exploring.

The park holds more than 2,500 plant species and over 400 bird species, many found nowhere else. This extraordinary diversity makes it a special place for nature lovers and researchers alike.
