Peaks of Tanzania
Mt. Meru & Mt. Kilimanjaro
Your first exciting trek takes you up Mt. Meru, an extinct volcano boasting 4566m. As you ascend you will see its spectacular ash cone and views of Kilimanjaro in the distance. This enjoyable trek has the added bonus of providing ideal acclimatisation for your next challenge - an ascent of 'Kili'. At 5895m the highest peak of Africa is deserving of its title 'The Roof of Africa'. As you stand on the peaks of Tanzania's highest mountains you can savour the breathtaking views - it makes all the effort of getting there very worthwhile.
Diverse Landscape & Wildlife
Enjoy the views as you ascend through several ecosystems - lush forest, moorland and stark high altitude peaks. Returning to the valley plains, the dramatic setting of the Ngorongoro Crater with its abundant wildlife provides the perfect setting for viewing African plains game. Finally, a visit to Lake Eyasi, home of the Hadzabe bushmen will provide an interesting insight into their traditional way of life.
