Itinerary description

Easy route around the Usambara Mountains. Starting and ending in Lushoto, the track is pretty much clear during all the way. At some parts, we got a little bit lost, but not more than 50-100 meters.

Take into account that to climb the Magamba Peak you must access the Natural reserve, and you'll have to pay 10USD per person (the guard is waiting at the top).

At the Irente Farm, you can have a nice lunch (cold lunch) for 12000Tsh. As well as buy some drinks, yogurt, cheese and other products at the Farm's shop.

For the Irente view point, the entrance fee is 2000Tsh. You can access through the Irente Cliff Lodge.
