Hiking in the Udzungwa Mountains National Park Cycling Mang'ula Village Tour Dugout Canoeing on the Kilombero River Magombera Forest Rubber Plantation Tour Traditional Ngoma Drumming Hondo Hondo Nature Trail

Hondo Hondo's main attraction is Udzungwa Mountains National Park, which is well known for excellent hiking, trekking, mountain climbing and forest walks. With no road access and the only way in being on foot along one of the many trails, the mountains keep their secrets from all but the most adventurous. Once you’ve gained a little altitude, the forest canopy shields you from the heat of the sun and you can enjoy the forest along with the monkeys, elephants, birds, duikers and elephant shrews.

There are several trails ranging from short 20min strolls, to 5 day expeditions. The most popular hike is up to Sanje Waterfalls, looking for monkeys, swimming in plunge pools, and enjoying the spectacular view. This is the prime attraction for this area and if you are a keen walker then taking at least one of these hiking opportunities is strongly recommended. Bear in mind, however, that it is very hot, particularly at midday, and this can have a considerable effect on even the fittest of walkers. Hondo Hondo offers pack lunches, so make a day of it!

Hondo Hondo has everything needed for overnight hiking in the forest. A package deal which includes tents, mattresses and bedding, porters, a cook and cooking equipment, food and if required, transport to and from the start of the trails – in short, everything you need for a successful trek.

A popular activity from Hondo Hondo is cycling. Come with your own bike, or rent one. There is a

selection of bike sizes for all ages. Unfortunately there are no cycling trails within the National Park

itself, but the valley provides plenty of great cycling terrain full of things to see. It is possible to go

on your own or with a guide to explore the local rural villages, and this provides a great opportunity for

photography and interaction with rural Tanzanian life. Intrepid explorers can go even further, out

onto the Kilombero floodplains through sugar plantations, local shamba (farms) and open bush

land. The cycling is generally easy, as the valley is mostly very flat. It can however, be quite wet in

some areas so be prepared for a muddy adventure!

Mang'ula is a picturesque rural Tanzanian village across the road from Hondo Hondo. Situated at

the base of the Udzungwa Mountains escarpment where the soil is fertile, the village benefits from a

very good rainy season and plentiful water coming off the mountains year round. Like most

villages, the centre is a bustling and chaotic muddle of small dukas (shops), mechanics workshops,

rice mills and colourful market stands. Radios compete for the loudest position while tradesmen and

customers alike do the same! The vibrant shop fronts are set against the red earth of the bumpy

roads, all with the vivid forest green of the mountains in the background. As you move away from

the main drag things quieten down into sleepy, shaded rural life. Children dominate the scene,

dashing around with homemade toys, or speeding down rough roads on bikes that are much too big

for them. Women at home call out their daily news to their neighbors, while hand milling the maize

or sorting through rice - all grown locally in the Kilombero Valley.

Just past Ifakara, there is a bridge over the Kilombero river. We offer canoe trips in the local

fisherman dugout canoes, so you can relax while you are punted upstream with a long pole. It’s

likely you'll see hippos, Nile monitor lizards and many many birds, including the endemic Kilombero Weaver and if you're really lucky, an African Skimmer. You'll see many fishermen in their smaller dugout boats. Excellent for birding enthusiasts!

Nearby Hondo Hondo lies a small fragment of forest, isolated from the main National Park and from the Selous Game Reserve 15km the other way. This forest fragment is all that remains of the carpet of trees which once lay across the Kilombero Valley floor, and it is now surrounded by sugar cane plantation and other agricultural land use. Within the forest you can find a plethora of bird life and also a heavy concentration of primates, particularly colobus. A half day trip here can be done on a bicycle from Hondo Hondo and is a great way to spend a few hours without hiking into the National Park itself. Excellent for birding enthusiasts!

Ever wondered where rubber comes from? Looking for something educational to do with the family, or simply interested in seeing part of one of Tanzania’s agricultural industries? This half day trip takes you to a local rubber plantation where the friendly manager will show you around the farm. Follow the progression of the rubber from the trees being planted through the harvesting of the latex right up to the basic processing to get the product ready to be transported away from Kilombero and out of Tanzania, here it will be turned into tyres, wellington boots and all sorts of other useful products.

With the support and encouragement of Hondo Hondo, a small group of village farmers have

formed a drumming group who perform a traditional “Ngoma” (meaning drum in KiSwahili) at

Hondo Hondo on request. They also perform in the village at celebrations, weddings and at the end

of the harvest. Some of the music is instrumental, with drums, percussion, whistles and some wind

instruments and has a very energetic rhythm. The words to the songs are generally ad-lib (created

live) and refer to current events and situations. This is a truly atmospheric experience beside a large

log fire.

At Hondo Hondo there is a nature trail around site, starting at the campsite shower block. Take a guide, or pick up a map and info sheet from the bar/reception. The trail winds gently around the back of the camp and along the edge of the forest, skirting the National Park border and taking visitors through the forest edge and around the habitats common to the area. Spot the trees and other vegetation marked out, and keep an eye out for birds, monkeys, and other wildlife on and around the trail.

Canopy Bar & Restaurant

The Canopy Bar is well stocked and provides a great venue for sun-downers with a view of the forest. Also a great place to relax after a long drive or a hike and be entertained by the yellow baboons playing in the glade.

All meal are served at the Canopy Bar & Restaurant and are prepared with available fresh local ingredients. Each morning is a breakfast feast, served with Tanzanian coffee or tea. The lunch can be served at the camp or a picnic lunch is provided while on a hike. Breakfast and take-away picnics need to be ordered the night before. A three course dinner is served in the evening. The set menu changes daily and the kitchen caters for individual dietary requirements as well as it can.
