Off the Beaten Track: Discovering Tanzania’s Hidden Treks & Climbs

Adventure Awaits: Exploring Tanzania's Spectacular Mountains on Foot.

Tanzania is home to some of the world’s most iconic trekking and climbing destinations, including Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru. Here’s some information to get you started:

  • Mount Kilimanjaro: Standing at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet), Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest peak and the world’s highest free-standing mountain. It’s a challenging trek, but one that can be done by anyone with a good level of fitness and determination. The most popular route is the Marangu Route, which takes five to six days to complete.
  • Mount Meru: Mount Meru is Tanzania’s second-highest peak and offers an excellent alternative to Kilimanjaro. It’s a challenging climb, but it’s also less crowded and offers stunning views of Kilimanjaro from the summit. The climb typically takes three to four days.
  • Ol Doinyo Lengai: Ol Doinyo Lengai is an active volcano in the Great Rift Valley and is considered sacred by the Maasai people. The climb to the summit is challenging, but the views from the top are well worth it.
  • Usambara Mountains: The Usambara Mountains are a beautiful range in northeastern Tanzania and offer a more off-the-beaten-track trekking experience. You can trek through lush forests, past waterfalls, and through traditional villages, experiencing the culture and history of the local communities.

When planning your trek or climb in Tanzania, it’s essential to work with a reputable tour operator who can ensure your safety and help you make the most of your experience.
