Overview

The Uluguru Mountains in eastern Tanzania are named after the Uluguru tribe, who live around the forested edges of the range. These mountains are globally recognized for their exceptional biodiversity, hosting over 100 unique plant and animal species found nowhere else in the world. Among these are the world-famous and rare pot plants such as African Violets, Impatiens, and Begonias.

The local inhabitants are the Waluguru people, who have lived in the mountains for centuries after migrating from other parts of Tanzania. Their community is known for its matrilineal land ownership , where land passes through the female line—giving women significant influence in village affairs. This contrasts with many other Tanzanian tribes where men typically own and manage land.

The Uluguru forests form a major water catchment for streams and rivers flowing down the slopes. Water from the forested peaks feeds into the Ruvu River, the primary water source for Dar es Salaam. More than 3 million people and major industries depend on this water for survival. Any loss of forest cover or reduction in the mountain’s water-holding capacity would have serious consequences for both human well-being and Tanzania’s industrial activities.
