The Eastern Arc Mountains are the sweeping column of ancient,
crystalline hills, escarpments and mountains that file
South-East from Kilimanjaro in a verdant bi-section
of the arid Masai Steppe. The Eastern Arcs are cloaked
in fertile rainforests, and shadowed by open plains
in which very individual natural phenomena and distinctive
human cultures have been allowed to ripen into a blossoming
low-impact eco-tourist destination.
Mkomazi
---------
This small Game Reserve in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro
plays a vital role in the Tsavo ecosystem, attracting
much of the wildlife onto the lush carpet of perfect
savannah during the Green Season. Foot safaris,
mobile bush camps and important conservation projects
are further reasons as to why this area represents
the future of safari tourism. |

Usambaras
------------
This lush and temperate range of
hills in Northern Tanzania now hosts blueprint
community-based tourism projects, treks and active
tourism in a habitat that sustains a rich and
varied endemic population of plants, birds and
insects.
Udzungwa National Park: Tanzania's newest National
Park is another of Tanzania's endemic hotspots,
a refuge for numerous birds and primates found
only on foot, within the lush and verdant montane
forest that cloak the slopes.
