TOUR OVERVIEW

Into Tanzania's wild heart.

Udzungwa is a park with no roads inside, so you see it all on foot. Walk to the Sanje Waterfalls for a swim, then climb through the rainforest on the Mwanihana Trail, watching for monkeys found nowhere else on Earth.

Waterfalls, rare monkeys and a night deep in the rainforest in Tanzania's wildest mountains. This sample itinerary is a strong starting point and can be refined around your dates, interests and preferred accommodation level.
