Pugu Hills

Pugu Hills is located in the outskirts of Dar es Salaam, about 15 kilometers southwest. Venturing into the many traditional communities in Pugu Hills allows visitors to enjoy rural life in Tanzania. The hills have several small forest reserves and the roads are only lightly traveled. Several missions were established and it is also the location of Pugu Secondary School where Julius Nyerere taught before entering politics.

There are several bat caves located in Pugu Hills and visitors can experience thousands of bats coming out at dusk for their nocturnal hunting.
