It's worth the time and effortTravel to the less well-traveled regions of the country you are visiting. Here in Tanzania, one of these areas is the Usamabara Mountains. Here we are talking about the West Usambara Mountains.
Leaving Arusha and traveling for a few hours on the road, past the big Kilimanjaro and then about the seemingly endless arid landscape to reach Mombi. Turn left here the road takes you almost magically, in a time when mountains Usamabara. Often they are called in Africa, littleSwitzerland - we are not trying to hear these speeches misleading. These mountains are very African, and to take an experience that should allow the opportunity and time.
If you travel to this destination, bite the bullet and travel to the top of the mountains. To the top is where the magic of the mountain, and take time to enjoy and explore. This is an amazing life of birds here, and if this is not your interest as this is the perfect place to start your own interest.
HereI visit some tourist attractions may write. There are many young men and women who are trained as guides, and well worth the effort for a few dollars to pay the claims enthusiastic young people in Tanzania who will share their mountains, culture and time. In Africa there are a lot of time - you have to deal with all lenses, or will just lose the magic.
In pre-colonial period, these were very fruitful witness mountains of bloody fighting between the Maas andShambaa local tribes. Shambaa The people have never been beaten by Maas and managed to hang on to their land coveted green.
MTAE is a small village on the western tip of the Usambara Mountains. There is a point of view of the spectacular steep 1000m with a roar in the bush. Kilimanjaro is over 240 km away, but on a clear day you can see this huge mountain with its crown of snow lies on the border of Kenya.
When the first missionariesArrival in MTAE at the end of the 19th century, the rulers Shambaa assigned to sleep in a room that was regarded as a "residence of spirits of the dead" - the thought of the local population, the newly arrived missionaries would surly die pursued this area. They did not, and so amazed, where the local elders, that the earth missionaries, were built on a church that was added to. This church can be visited today.
Tewe village is home to the tribe Shilaghi, orin English the "have nots" For centuries these people have been falsified, and as such were considered the lowest rung of the social order in question, other clans were forbidden marriage in this clan. Taew is a village of blacksmiths and almost every knife in the Usambara mountains is Tawe. Today most people in this country, regardless of clan blacksmith by trade and gender.
Traditionally, local people would remove the iron from the soil, but with the arrival ofthe colonial period came, scrap, and people have learned the art of recycling. There is now a move for the extraction of iron at the local and overseas financial return helps to develop the village blacksmith.
If Mvueni is in the high mountains. It 's so quiet here, there is background noise, you must learn to believe. E 'possible to swim here, even if the water is very cold. The river feeds Mkuzi Mvueni falls, the more than 2,300 metersabove sea level. The river is moving down the mountains and as you pass along the Soni falls the water cascades dramatically toward the Pangani river, more than 800 feet fall just a few kilometers.
Lushoto is the capital of the Usambara mountains and is worth exploring for some time. There is an office locally run cultural tourism, the main street. Although it is market day will take time to walk around the market to know these people very friendly and the mountain.
If youVisit Tanzania - ask your tour operator can not be put off visiting this area - or anywhere else you want to visit as possible. Many workers are lazy and prefer to remain within the limits of the tourist circuit - not to be bullied - to insist, as it allows more time to Tanzania.
NOTICE: When visiting the Usambara Mountains in Arusha to consider spending a day and the day walking on Kilimanjaro, overnight in the village of Marangu among the many banana and coffeeTrees. After the Usambara take a couple of days in the tropical Pangani Bay [Zanzibar, however, if you are looking for clubs and diving] is the beautiful safari ends. The draft is worth considering one, instead of Zanzibar, Pemba Island for something different and spectacular. If you hit the beach parties and nightclubs and then enjoy Zanzibar is the best option.
