Mountain Climbing

Scale the heights of Tanzania’s peaks where adventure meets the clouds and every view is a masterpiece.

Tanzania is the best destination for mountain climbing enthusiasts, offering a range of iconic peaks and challenging adventures. The most famous climb is Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet). Climbers can choose from several routes, such as Marangu, Machame, and Lemosho, each providing unique scenic views and experiences.

Mount Meru, Tanzania's second-highest peak at 4,566 meters (14,980 feet), offers a thrilling climb with diverse ecosystems and spectacular views of Kilimanjaro from its summit. The trek through Arusha National Park includes encounters with wildlife like colobus monkeys and buffaloes.

Ol Doinyo Lengai, known as the "Mountain of God," is an active volcano standing at 2,962 meters (9,718 feet). Its unique natrocarbonatite lava and steep ascent provide a distinct and challenging climbing experience.

Each mountain presents its own set of challenges and rewards, from the lush rainforests and alpine meadows of Mount Meru to the volcanic landscapes of Ol Doinyo Lengai, ensuring unforgettable adventures for climbers of all levels.
