Udzungwa Mountains National Park was established in 1992 and officially opened by the former President and founder of WWF (World Wildlife Fund for Nature) Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. The word ``Udzungwa`` comes from the word ``Wadsungwa`` referring to one of the native sub tribes of the ``Hehe`` people who once lived in the slopes of the mountains. The park covers an area of 1990km2 where geographically, 20% of the total area lies in Morogoro region while the remaining 80% being in the southern highland region of Iringa.
