3-Day Udzungwa Peaks & Waterfalls (Lodge or Camp)
Overview
A refreshing Udzungwa Mountains trek with two highlights: the Sanje Waterfall hike and a full-day push to the Mwanihana ridge/peak for wide views, forest wildlife, and birding. Best paired with Mikumi stays; from Dar es Salaam we recommend an overnight near Mikumi both before/after.
