Usambara mountains
The Usambara mountains are located between Kilimanjaro and the
Indian Ocean. Some of the tops rise to well over 2000m. Between
steep cliffs and rocky hilltops are set small communities of the
pastoral Usambani tribe. The high altitude and fertile soils
attracted German, British and other European settlers. This is an
excellent place to visit for a few relaxing days if you are
travelling overland between the coast and Kilimanjaro and the
northern gameparks. Lushoto, at the heart of the Usambara, can be
reached in a 5 hour drive from Moshi. It is a further 4 hours drive
to Tanga from where there are daily flights to Zanzibar, or 5-6
hours drive to Pangani or Saadani. Although a variety of
accommodation is available in the area.
