The Southern Highlands & Western Tanzania
Heading southwest from Dar es Salaam , you'll quickly find yourself in the scenic South-
ern Highlands. A good first stop for a night or two en route to the highlands is Mikumi
National Park , with its easily spotted wildlife.
From Mikumi, it's a straightforward detour to Udzungwa Mountains National Park
, where backpackers and adventure travellers can enjoy several days hiking up the steep,
moist, lushly vegetated slopes. Alternatively, continue from Mikumi straight on to Iringa
, which makes a relaxing base. Once in Iringa, a two- or three-night detour to Ruaha Na-
tional Park is easily arranged and well worth the effort.
