Hondo Hondo Udzungwa Forest Tented Camp

Hondo Hondo Udzungwa Forest Tented Camp — The Only Specialist Base for Udzungwa's Rainforest

Hondo Hondo Udzungwa Forest Tented Camp sits on the border of Udzungwa Mountains National Park — one of Africa's most biodiverse yet least-visited parks. TripAdvisor reviewers call it "the best and only good place to stay in Udzungwa" — a claim that is largely accurate, as options are very limited in this remote area. The camp grounds are regularly visited by troops of colobus monkeys and up to 86 bird species have been identified on-site. The camp is also a gateway to the little-visited Kilombero Valley.

Accommodation options include spacious en-suite canvas tents with private verandas, traditional thatched bandas (full board at ~$120/night), and a campsite for self-sufficient travellers. Managers Godfrey and Sharon and their team are "extremely friendly" with staff who "go above and beyond." The food is "very good." The camp offers a comfortable place to return to after the Mwanihana Peak climb, Sanje Waterfall hike or multi-day forest treks. Solar-powered water heating means hot water availability depends on sunshine — a note worth keeping in mind. Restaurant, bar and atmospheric forest grounds.
