Tanzania - Another world heritage site?

It is understood that Dar es Salaam has applied to UNESCO for the declaration of the Udzungwa Mountains National Park as a World Heritage Site. The park, referred to as an ‘undiscovered gem' offers a wide range of mammals, the red colobus monkey, 400 bird species, numerous butterflies and the highest waterfall in Tanzania (the 170m Sanjes Falls). The park also offers extended walks and hikes through rain forest. At present no formal accommodation exists within the park.
