| 1 mins read
Udzungwa is the most significant example of the natural world of the Eastern Arc Mountains that run in a chain through the whole of Tanzania. It is the forests of the park that make Udzungwa unique in East Africa, as there is no other place where an unbroken series of forests stretching from an altitude of 250 meters up to more than 2000 meters has been successfully preserved. They change in aspect to an amazing extent with increasing altitude, from lush lowland rain forests up to foggy or misty montane forests. There are innumerable natural details to be found in this park that place it in a class of its own on a world scale, no less. There is a number of species among the flora and fauna that are endemic to Udzungwa, and astonishingly, these even include two medium-sized monkeys, which live exclusively in these forests.
