Uluguru Excursions

You’re not just a guest—you’re part of the journey. Whether you come to explore, connect, or simply breathe in the pure mountain air, unforgettable memories await.

Hike to Bondwa Peak

Hike about 5.5km from Uluguru Ridge camp to Bondwa Peak, standing at 2,161m above sea level. It requires some basic fitness to walk up to the peak. Enjoy the view of Morogoro town and Lake Mindu.

Walk to Choma Waterfall

This can be accessed either by coming up to the camp or while going down from the camp. Hence the distance will be a bit longer if you decide to reach the campsite via the Choma waterfalls route. Be sure to bring your swimming costume.

Pottery making

Book to join a group of ladies who make pots for cooking and other uses. You will be able to witness the whole traditional process.

Vegetable and fruit garden visit

The Uluguru Mountains are famous for their organic strawberries, carrots, beetroot, bananas, spinach, and cabbage to name a few. Plan for a garden tour where you will be able to collect your snacks for the day.
