Frequently asked questions

What is the best hike in Tanzania besides Kilimanjaro?

Mount Meru is the top choice for a mountain summit, and the Usambara and Udzungwa mountains are best for forest and village walking. Ol Doinyo Lengai is a short but hard volcano climb.

Do I need experience?

Some walks need none, while Meru and Lengai are demanding and suit fit hikers. Tell us your experience and we suggest the right trip.
