The Uluguru Mountains are located in eastern Tanzania, Africa. They rise steeply from the dry coastal plain to an altitude of 2600 m. The Uluguru range is approximately 100 km long by 20 km wide and is isolated from other mountains by tracts of lowland savanna woodland. At higher altitudes, and especially within a number of Forest Reserves, tropical montane forest is found. This forest is of global importance for bird conservation and for the conservation of other species of flora and fauna. Tropical lowland forest is also found in a few remnants on the eastern margins of the Uluguru range, and this also has high conservation importance. The biological importance of the Ulugurus is due to the presence of numerous species which are either entirely confined to this mountain, or which range a little more widely in a number of similar isolated mountains in eastern Africa (mainly Tanzania).
