High-end
Outside the gate
Owner-run
The most comfortable option in the Kilombero area and the least like a bush camp. Forty en-suite rooms, a pool, a coffee shop and bakery, a generator against the power cuts, and conference facilities that bring in a domestic corporate trade alongside visitors. It is roughly ten kilometres from Kilombero township, so it is a base near the park rather than at it: factor in the drive to Mang'ula each morning.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Udzungwa Mountains National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entry$30 plus 18% VAT, charged per 24 hours.
- $35.4per person, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults pay $212.4 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
No vehicle fee is published, and there are no game-drive roads to use one on.

Questions about Udzungwa Falls Lodge
How much does Udzungwa Falls Lodge cost?
Udzungwa Falls Lodge's own site quotes TSh 190,000 per person per day, fully inclusive and sharing, though that figure appears tied to a Friday-to-Sunday weekend package rather than a clearly confirmed standard nightly rate, and some package pages on the site are dated as far back as 2014. Third-party sites quote from about $95; confirm the current price directly.
Is Udzungwa Falls Lodge good for families?
Yes, on paper. The lodge's own site lists family rooms alongside singles and doubles, across 40 en-suite rooms in total. Neither the site nor the record states a minimum age or specific child policy, so confirm family room configurations and any child rates when you book.
Can you self-drive to Udzungwa Falls Lodge?
The record and the lodge's site give no explicit self-drive directions, only that it sits about 10 kilometres from Kilombero township and 45 kilometres from Mikumi National Park, with Msolwa or Kilombero as the charter airstrip options. Confirm the exact road route directly with the lodge before you travel.
Is Udzungwa Falls Lodge inside Udzungwa Mountains National Park?
No. It sits about 10 kilometres from Kilombero township near Ruaha Junction, which makes it a base near the park rather than at it. Factor in the drive to Mang'ula park headquarters each morning if you are basing yourself here for hiking rather than the conference trade it mostly serves.
