Duration: 1 day
Cancellation: 1 day learn more
Highlights
  • Uluguru Mountains - Best way to get close to local people in the mountains, a day in Morogoro to fill while waiting for a transfer in or out of town? A hike in the Ulurgu Mountains to Choma Waterfall or all the way to Lupanga Peak (2150m above sea level) is a great way to spend the day!

This is more of a walk through villages on a steep dirt trail, than it is a true “hike” through treacherous terrain.

Uluguru hiking - Our journey to Uluguru mountains started about two months before the actual hiking. The owner of the travel agency Mr. Edward offered us a varied program and the experienced guide Jimmy showed us and described everything that was needed. We really recommend it to anyone interested.

Hiking in the Uluguru Mountains with Safaris Partners - Tony was an excellent Guide. We enjoyed doing this hike with Safaris Partners. We've learned a lot about the environment and plants and trees. The waterfall was very nice. We had a bath there and no people around. All around a lovely day

Great hiking experience - We hiked to the Choma waterfall and Morningside with guide Antony, and it was excellent! He is very knowledgeable and an experienced tourguide, who could tell us all about the mountain. Great conversation and guiding. The views are wonderful, only wish we had time to go to the peak and camp overnight at Morningside. The snacks were good (more like a meal!), and we bought berries and jackfruit on our way up the mountain. The pickup and drop off went very smoothly with Edward. I would highly recommend Antony and Safari Adventures for any hike around Morogoro. Asante sana!

Great experience with excellent guide - This trip provides a great insight in the natural beauty of the flora, fauna and local inhabitants of Uluguru Mountain. Starting early in the morning, we got picked up from our hotel to be brought to the start of our hike at the foot of the mountain. During the ~8 hour hike, we were able to enjoy the fantastic views, experience the taste of the mountain fruits and learn about local history and nature. Special thanks goes out to our guide Elton, who was very knowledgeable about both aspects and was excellent company all around. At the end of the hike we even got dropped off at our hotel again. Quite the service! 1,5L water bottles will be provided, so it is recommended to bring a backpack. There is no lunch included, but an abundance of fruits was available for purchase from the local inhabitants so we didn't get hungry. All in all a good experience, a great way to spend a day in Morogoro and enjoy the mountains.

Uluguru Mountains guided hike - This was my favourite day in Tanzania! A huge thank you to the Safaris Partners team - the extremely helpful guide pointed out birds, insects, spices, fruits and was extremely knowledgeable about each and every aspect of the hills and the way the communities live. We met many people along the way and the views were breathtakingly beautiful. I would do this day again in a heartbeat, a very special memory!
