Udzungwa Forest Tented Camp - Hondo Hondo

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 these remarkable birds which make the area their home.

Hondo Hondo's lush green grounds are on the border of the pristine rainforest 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 remarkable 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 rainforest in large numbers every evening at sunset, and the valley echoes with their distinctive calls.

Hondo Hondo provides a high standard of accommodation and great access to Tanzania's remarkable wildlife and landscapes through co-operation with the local community and provision of excellent facilities. Built by a local workforce and providing employment throughout both the construction and operational phases, the ultimate goal is to increase international awareness of the Udzungwa Mountains National Park, bringing in more visitors to appreciate the remarkable diversity of wildlife here and to contribute to the improvement of local community livelihoods.

Wa chini na Windo lake... Serengeti NP

Duma "wa Chini" akiwa na windo lake la swala tomi (Thomson's gazelle) ndani ya hifadhi ya taifa ya Serengeti.

wa chini yeye humalizia shughuli yote ardhini. Hana ubavu wa kupandisha windo lake juu ya mti kama afanyavyo wa juu. Ili kukwepa kuporwa windo lake na fisi au simba wa chini hulazimika kula windo lake fasta kabla hajashtukiwa na kuletewa zengwe na hao watajwa. Kutokana na kuwa na mwili mdogo mdogo, wa chini hana ubavu wa kupambana na bwana afya au sharubu.

Uwepo wa pembe kweny kichwa cha swala Tomi huyo kunadhihirisha ya kwamba alikuwa ni swala dume.
Hapo wa chini huyu anaweza hesabika kama kafanya uwindaji ambao unazingatia uhifadhi. ktk ugawaji wa vibali vya kuwinda, mwindaji hupewa kibali cha kuwinda mnyama dume. muwindaji hulazimika kuhakikisha kuwa anawinda mnyama dume kama taratibu zinavyoelekeza. Sababu moja inayopelekea uwepo wa taratibu hii ni kukwepa kuwinda majike ambayo yanalea watoto na kuweka hatarini kikazi cha jamii ile. Au hata kukwepa kuwinda mnyama aliye na uja uzito na kupelekea kuwinda idadi kubwa ya wanyama zaidi ya kibali ulichopewa, ukijumuisha na wale watakaokuwamo tumboni mwa jike.
