2-Day Udzungwa Mountains National Park Hike & Waterfall Adventure

Nestled within the biodiverse Eastern Arc Mountains of southern Tanzania, the Udzungwa Mountains National Park offers a unique blend of highland rainforest, wildlife encounters, and scenic hiking trails that culminate in spectacular waterfalls. This 2-day adventure is ideal for nature lovers, active travelers, and those seeking to experience a different side of Tanzania beyond the traditional savannah safaris.

Only about a 5–6 hour drive from Dar es Salaam or 2–3 hours from Mikumi National Park , Udzungwa is a perfect short escape that combines well with southern circuit itineraries. The park boasts over 400 bird species, 2,500 plant species (with many endemics), and several rare primates — including the endangered Sanje crested mangabey and the Iringa red colobus monkey — making it a biodiversity hotspot.

The main highlight of this tour is the Sanje Waterfalls hike — a moderately challenging trek through lush rainforest, leading to a 170-meter cascading waterfall where you can swim in natural pools, enjoy panoramic views, and spot unique flora and fauna along the way. You’ll also take guided forest walks to discover medicinal plants and endemic species, and immerse yourself in the tranquil atmosphere of one of Tanzania’s least-visited but most rewarding national parks.
