Walk Among the Wild Chimpanzees Tucked away on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, Gombe and Mahale Mountains National Parks offer a wildlife
Tucked away in southern Tanzania, the Udzungwa Mountains are a place of pure magic. Towering rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and winding trails invite you into a world untouched by time. This is where you can spot rare birds like the Udzungwa Forest Partridge and Rufous-winged Sunbird while hiking beneath a canopy teeming with life. The mountains hum with the sounds of nature, making every step an adventure.
Just beyond the forests, the Kilombero Floodplains unfold like a vast, living tapestry. During the wet season, these plains transform into shimmering waterways, drawing countless waterbirds, including the endemic Kilombero weaver and White-tailed cisticola. As you explore, you’ll see herds of grazing wildlife against a backdrop of endless skies—a scene straight out of Africa’s wildest dreams.
For birders and nature lovers looking for something truly special, Udzungwa and Kilombero offer an escape into the heart of Tanzania’s untouched wilderness. Here, every moment is a discovery and every sight is a story waiting to be told.
Udzungwa is a true paradise for nature lovers, birdwatching and hikers. Known as the “Galápagos of Africa,” this park boasts incredible biodiversity, lush rainforests, stunning waterfalls like Sanje Falls, and rare endemic species—including the Udzungwa red colobus and Sanje mangabey. Whether you’re trekking through misty trails or birdwatching in silence, Udzungwa offers a unique off-the-beaten-path adventure in southern Tanzania.
The best time to visit Udzungwa Mountains National Park is during the dry season from June to October. Trails are easier to hike, wildlife is more visible, and waterfalls like Sanje Falls are still flowing beautifully. However, for lush greenery and fewer crowds, the shoulder months of May and November are also great. The heavy rain season in March to April can be challenging but still accessible
