Tanzania offers many hiking options for avid travelers. The most popular options are Mt.Kilimanjaro and Mt.Meru-two of the highest peaks in Africa. Apart from Meru and Kilimanjaro, there are other destinations such as the Usambara mountains, Uluguru Mountains, Mount Oldonyo Lengai, and the Ngorongoro Crater Highlands. Every mountain is unique; you should seek enough information before deciding which one to climb.
Mount Meru is Africa’s fifth highest peak and has fabulous views of Mt. Kilimanjaro and the Momela Lakes from the summit. Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest peak and the highest free-standing mountain in the world (i.e Kilimanjaro is the highest mount that is not part of a mountain range in the world).
Mount Oldonyo Lengai is another popular ascent after that of Kilimanjaro and Meru. The ascent to the crater of Ol Donyo Lengai passes through beautiful sceneries with panoramic views of the eastern arm of the Great Rift Valley.
