Getting There

Getting There

Udzungwa is accessible by bus and train. But the bus option is more cumbersome and requires a lot of planning and luck to go with the change of buses at multiple junctions. The Tazara trains are more convenient as they run every Tuesday and Friday afternoon from Tazara train station in Dar to Mang’ula, the town closest to the park. After that, it’s just a 30-minute drive to the park headquarters.
