Mount Rungwe

The Mount Rungwe Forest Nature Reserve is located in the Mbeya region of southwestern Tanzania. Mount Rungwe is a dormant volcano with an elevation of 2,960 meters above sea level. Seasoned hikers who start early can go hiking in one day. From the top, you’ll have views of Poroto Ridge, Mbeya Peak, and Loleza Peak. The local wildlife includes two of the world’s rarest primates, as well as a rare species of antelope.

In the nearby Kiwira Valley you will find a unique natural bridge called Daraja la Mungu or “God’s Bridge”. Also not too far from Lake Ngosi, which is located in a volcanic crater in the Poroto Ridge Forest Reserve. This area is among the rainiest in Tanzania, so choose dates carefully and avoid the rainy season.
When to go: June to October
