Pare Mountains
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pare Mountains are a mountain range in north eastern Tanzania, north west of the Usambara Mountains. There are two mountain ranges - North and South Pare ranges, which rise to 2,463 m at Shengena Peak. They form part of the Eastern Arc of mountains. The Pare people live in the area.
The Pare Mountains are accessible by 4WD, but there are few roads in the South Pares. It is an attractive place for hiking and bird-watching enthusiasts. Species in the Pare mountains include the endemic South Pare White-eye, Mountain Buzzard (Buteo oreophilus), Olive Woodpecker, Moustached Green-tinkerbird (Pogoniulus leucomystax) and the African Hill Babbler (Pseudoalcippe abyssinica).
