Udzungwa Forest Tented Camp borders the Udzungwa Mountains National Park, in the Kilombero valley in southern Tanzania. The lodge is known locally as Hondo Hondo meaning hornbill in Swahili, due to the amazing number of the remarkable birds which make the area home. The camp's lush green grounds are on the border of the pristine rain forest, and offer excellent views of the forest canopy. The forest is home to a number of primate species, including the endemic udzungwa red colobus, the sanje crested mangebey, and the black and white colobus. A number of different hornbill species fly in over the forest edge and settle in trees along the borders of the rain forest in large numbers every evening at sunset, and the valley echoes with their distinctive calls.
