Breaking News: Sokoke Pipit spotted at Pugu

Not easy to understand that with the present status of the Pugu Forest still globally endangered species are found like the recent spotting of the Sokoke Pipit (Anthus sokokensis)

Few remaining Rondo Dwarf Galago

The secretive and almost extinct Rondo Dwarf Galago is still a regular visitor of the Pugu Hills Nature Centre. At night from your bed in the banda you may hear it calling.

Children without Nature

The publishing of an article about the worrying absence of Nature in the life of upgrowing children in the UK is not only a warning relevant in Europe

NATURE IN CHARGE

A simple concept

In a complex environment - on the outskirts of a booming Metropolis

The Pugu Hills Nature Centre is a six hectare plot of regenerating forest. The centre is situated on the outskirts of Dar es Salaam, some 12 km from the international airport.

Most of our guest come for hiking or to spend a night in the bush. Just relaxing and enjoying the nature pool and restaurant is an other option, preferred by others.

We have a small private place and booking for Pugu Hills is necessary both for overnight stays and day visits.

Animal of the Week

Just a common BulBul (Pycnonotus barbatus)

The "big five" mentality also affects the more seasoned environmentalists, to which category I count myself. Looking for the most exotic, almost extinct, rarest species. Like "the big five" tourist will miss the incredible "ant lion" I forget the daily delight of the most vocal bird at Pugu, the common bulbul. Like the sparrow in Europe, the bulbul still frequences around the human habitats. You may not be aware of the bulbul but his/her song may sound familiar (click on link for sound)
