The Region of Mbeya

Approximate Fee: US $15

Accommodation: hotels, guesthouse, campsite

Food: restaurants

In the far south of Tanzania, bordering the countries of Malawi and Zambia, lies the fascinating Region of Mbeya.   The landscape is characterized by various relief forms created by the volcanic powers of the African Rift Valley.  Several old volcanoes, some of them once exploded, lie scattered over the region, and at many places you can discover hot springs.   Changes in the altitude and rainfall have enabled a large variety of vegetation to grow on the volcanic soils.  In the lower areas you can travel through savannas and woodlands, while on the mountain slopes you can see dense natural forests and afro-alpine moorland.

We, the youth of Sisi Kwa Sisi Society offer you:

  • A visit to the magnificent Ngosi Crater Lake, where local legends recount tales of a monster residing under the water's surface
  • A view into the traditional cultures of the people living in Mbeya region
  • Climbs to different mountain peaks in the region overlooking awesome views of the East African Rift Valley
  • Visits to the Mbozi Meteorite Stone and the Natural Bridge at Kiwira

The profit will be used to invest in agricultural projects of the Sisi Kwa Sisi Society.
