Introducing Lushoto
Lushoto is a leafy highland town nestled in a fertile valley at about 1200m. It’s the centre of the western Usambaras and makes an excellent base for hikes into the surrounding hills.

The Tourist Information Centre (264 0132) can help with arranging hikes. If would-be guides approach you on the street, check here first to verify that they are official before starting out. Expect to pay about TSh25, 000 per person per day (less in a group) on multiday hikes, including camping or accommodation, but excluding food.
