Mountain Climbing & Hiking
Mount Kilimanjaro is 5,869 metre, is popular mountain for most of our tourist who travel to Tanzania, then Mt Meru, another of Tanzania’s volcanic peaks, is also popular, with the varied animal and plant life to be found on its slopes being a major draw. The challenging ascent to the crater of Ol Donyo Lengai passes through some fantastic scenery, with panoramic views of the Rift Valley. Mount Kilimanjaro is located in the Nothern part of Tanzania with other National Parks such as Serengeti, Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Mkomazi. You may also like other mountains in Tanzania like Mount Meru, Udzungwa, Usambala, Uluguru.
