Udzungwa Forest Campsite

Udzungwa Forest Campsite is set in a spacious field away from the road and within easy walking distance of the Udzungwa Mountains National Park main gate.

ACCOMMODATION

Udzungwa Forest Campsite also offers four traditional Swahili Thatched Huts. Comfortably furnished, well-kept, and spacious, these double rooms, equipped with a double bed, furniture and mosquito nets, offer a unique and exciting alternative to camping under canvas or staying in an everyday hotel room.

The thatched huts are shaded by a teak plantation which is popular with Trumpeter Hornbills and the elegant Black and White Colobus Monkey.
