Whether you just reach on the peaks of Tanzania’s highest mountains or just walk through the abundant forests for a few hours – Climbing & Trekking in this country offers a great adventure for everyone. Volcanoes, high plateaus and mountain ranges, lakes and craters offer excellent opportunities for short hikes or long treks.
Mount Kilimanjaro Trekking is the highest mountain in Africa and also is the highest standing mountain in the world with its own three volcanic cones, Kibo – the summit. The other two cones are Mawenzi and Shira. It is one of the most sought-after peaks in the world. While it is a very tough hike, and should not be underestimated, it is not a technical climb. Trekking to the summit of Kili takes 6-8 days, and you must choose your route carefully and understand the limitations and risks of trying to go for an adventurous hike. There are also multi-day hikes in Western Kilimanjaro on the plains that are inhabited by the Maasai Tribes. These types of treks are much shorter and more suited to your smaller budgets.
