Experience the Usambara mountains intensively — our tip for all Tanzania travelers.
Six days in the Usambara Mountains. Joseph, rightly called the best guide here, showed us monkeys, chameleons and local farming — and Magumba View Cottages gave us a 270° view of the valley.

Great experience with Isaac — a kind, cheerful guide who took us through remote mountains and forests, plus a visit to Irente orphanage. You'll get the real experience — don't miss out!
