Trekking / Mountain Climbing

Tanzania numerous parks and reserves offer many climbing options for the avid explorer. The most frequent expeditons are obvious to Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru, but there are other destinations such as the Crater Highlands, Udzungwa Mountain, Uluguru Mountain and Usambara Mountain. We will happily put together an itinerary that suits your preferences and our ’Things to bring’ section will help make sure that you are adequately prepared.

Mountain Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa standing 19,043 ft and the world’s highest freestanding mountain. Just south of the equator rising from the savannah plains, the summit always enigmatically covered in snow, Mount Kilimanjaro is a must for mountaineers, trekkers and adventure lovers both amateur and professionals. The climb, which takes on average, 5 days, takes hikers through think forest and alpine grassland, dessolate rockface and brilliant white glaciers. A trip to this ‘Roof of Africa’  is worth taking.

Mount Meru is one of Africa’s most beautiful volcanoes, and it is the second highest mountain in Tanzania at 14,979 ft, and the fifth highest in Africa. This prime location gives walkers the opportunity to spot some birds and wildlife that inhabit the area.

Ever wonder what it must be like to climb to the roof of Africa? Can you imagine the view from 19,340 feet? Any reasonably fit person can experience this with a trek up the highest mountain in Africa - Mount Kilimanjaro!

Or climb a dormant volcano! Mount Meru, a wonderful trek into alpine Africa. With lush forests, bare rock, a spectacular crater, an abundance of wildlife and a snow capped peak at 14,979 feet.

Crater Highlands
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Crater Highlands offers hikers the chance to experience an extended piece of the country on foot and up close. Longer hikes start around Ngorongoro Crater and pass through smaller Craters and Summits on the way, finishing at Lake Natron with hike to the Crater of the active volcano Oldonyo Lengai. The track to the top of Lengai is very steep, and a true challenge attempted only by hikers with a good level of fitness.

Rising to over 2,600 meters with two mountain blocks, Uluguru Mountains are part of the Eastern Arc Mountains, old crystalline chain of mountains extending from south east Kenya to the south east of Tanzania, recognized as a global biodiversity "hot spot", for high species richness, large number of endemic plant and animal species, and the delicate nature from human caused disturbances. Among them are Usambara Mountains and Udzungwa Mountains. These mountains are also given credit for the unique and diverse hydrological importance to the forest vegetation

There are 15 species of birds which are under conservation interest, 11 endemic reptiles and amphibians, three threatened and two endemic mammals. Much of the mountains are covered with forest reserves that contains some of the oldest species trees

The Usambara Mountains part of the ancient Eastern Arc range of mountains, are situated in the north east of Tanzania, between Mount Kilimanjaro and the Indian Ocean region of Tanga and Pangani. Considered to be a "Galapagos" of the plant world, they remain little visited and offer a superb view of unspoiled habitats for endangered species. This stunning mountainous range is accessible from Lushoto in the west, or alternatively Amani in the East.

Here you will enjoy a pleasant climate, great treks, good birding, and for the botanist an amazing diversity of flora. Treks and drives will lead you though beautiful arable country and small villages up to majestic escarpments and mountain tops from where the views may be wonderful.

It's best to take around three or four days, allowing you to see Lushoto Town, many small villages, and the wonderful viewpoints off the escarpments from where you can look to Kilimanjaro far off and down to the plains below.

Fishing and Diving

Tanzania offers divers world class reefs and plentiful schools of tropical fish just off-shore of popular beaches and secluded locations

Zanzibar and Pemba Island are the perfect place to explore the Indian Ocean’s marine life. The Island offers magnificent deep sea diving ground. Experienced divers have an opportunity to explore pristine coral structures with abundant marine life and the relatively frigid unspoiled waters of the Indian Ocean.

The deep waters of the Indian Oceans along Tanzania's coast are rich in big game fish, from Marlin and Tuna to swordfish and biting Barracudas. Besides the big game fish, Grouper, Red Snapper and other local species are popular along the coastal waters.

Boating and Canoeing

Boating and Canoeing through the rivers, ocean bays and water ways of Tanzania can be an exhilarating experience. River boating can take you past sleeping crocodiles and hippos sunning themselves with their mouths wide open, gathered in half-submerged herds. On Tanzania's large fresh water lakes, boats are a popular means of transport and offer visitors the chance to see life under water.

Water safaris in Selous Game Reserve are on offer as a break from longer game viewing and give visitors the oppotunity to get out in the open and see tremendous amounts of bird life and water species up close. Despite the proximity of Crocodiles and hippos during boat safaris, the expeditions are extremely safe and the animals react with puzzled curiosity to the site of boats on water.

Sail into chimpanzee territory on a dhow, skimming over the fresh, crystal waters of the Lake Tanganyika, or travel up the Wami River in Saadani, surrounded by amazing Birdlife, Hippos and Alligators.

Canoeing trips are available in the Arusha National Park and are a wonderful experience, drifting past herds of Elephants, Giraffes, Hippos and Buffalos as you cruise along the shores of the lake surrounded by countless flocks of birds.

Walking Safari

A walk through the African bush is a wonderful way to experience Africa intimately. Smells and sounds become distinct and varied, and smaller creatures gain significance. They are no longer simply rushed past in the race for the bigger game. when larger animals do appear, they are met at eye-level; the land is truly shared between humans and animals. Safety is not an issue - all walks are accompanied by armed, experienced guides and rangers. Walks can be from a few hours to full day with picnic lunch.
