TOUR OVERVIEW

Into Tanzania's wild heart.

Known as Africa's Galápagos for their rare species, these ancient mountains see few visitors. Walk to Lupanga Peak above Morogoro, game-drive in Mikumi, then climb through Udzungwa's rainforest, past the Sanje Waterfalls, on the Mwanihana Trail.

Southern Tanzania's green mountains: rainforest peaks, waterfalls and rare monkeys, with a game drive in between. This sample itinerary is a strong starting point and can be refined around your dates, interests and preferred accommodation level.
