Udzungwa Mountains National Park is one of Tanzania’s most enchanting natural treasures, known for its mist-covered rainforests, towering peaks, and extraordinary plant and animal diversity. Often called the “Galápagos of Africa,” Udzungwa is part of the Eastern Arc Mountains—an ancient range where evolution has flourished in isolation. The park is a paradise for nature lovers, hikers, and birdwatchers, offering trails through dense forest, butterfly-filled clearings, and dramatic views from high ridge paths. Waterfalls cascade down green cliffs, monkeys leap between canopy branches, and the air feels cool, fresh, and alive.
