Kazimzumbwi Forest Reserve
The Kazimzumbwi Forest Reserve is a forest reserve in Pwani Region, Tanzania. It is located in the Pugu Hills area, about 20 km (12 mi) south-west of Dar es Salaam. It covers an area of 4,887 hectares (12,080 acres), at an altitude between 120 and 180 m (390 and 590 ft). The reserve was established in 1936, but both agriculture and logging were tolerated for several years. Logging, in particular, went on until the 1970s.
