Udzungwa Mountain Day Trip

Safari summary

Experience a rewarding day trip to Udzungwa Mountain National Park, one of Tanzania’s most biodiverse and scenic protected areas. Located in the Eastern Arc Mountains, the park is famous for its lush rainforest, rare wildlife, and spectacular waterfalls.

This adventure is perfect for nature lovers, hikers, and travelers seeking an active escape from the city. The highlight of the trip is a guided hike to the breathtaking Sanje Waterfalls, which cascade over 170 meters through dense tropical forest. Along the trail, you may encounter endemic plant species, colorful birds, butterflies, and several species of monkeys found nowhere else in the world.

Unlike other national parks in Tanzania, Udzungwa offers a true walking safari experience, allowing you to connect closely with nature. The hike varies from moderate to challenging, with well-earned panoramic views over the Kilombero Valley at the top.

This day trip includes park entry, an experienced local guide, and ample time to enjoy the forest, take photos, and relax by the waterfalls before returning. It’s an ideal addition to a southern Tanzania itinerary or a perfect standalone adventure for active travelers.
