Here you will experience the views of the untouched forests and fill your lungs with pure and clean, fresh air. You will also get a chance to learn a lot about agriculture within a region. Rows of growing produce are everywhere, down in the valleys up to the tops of the hills. Fruits like apples, plums, peaches, and vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, potatoes, and carrots popping are everywhere!

Time on Foot: 3 hours, 30 minutes. The second day is a little bit light but no less beautiful. Hike through the different small villages of Manolo and Sunga up to the magnificent Range. You will stay at the sisters' convent in the hills, this was one of the areas used by the Germans when they first came to Tanzania. Just imagine sleeping in the building being used as a bunker in World War II, which gives its a particularly haunted character, but actually, it was built sometime in the 1970s.

Time on Foot: 3 hours, 30 minutes. Woke up early morning, have breakfast, and get out to move again. The Usambara mountains forest looks even more beautiful in the morning.
