MOUNT KILIMANJARO – A classic image of Africa (or Africa’s Everest) Rising abruptly from the African plains and reaching an altitude of 5,895 m, this dormant but not extinct volcano is the highest free-standing mountain in the world. It can be climbed by various routes over a period of between five to ten days.

The various trails (Marangu, Machame, Mweka, Shira, Lemosho, Rongai and Umbwe) pass through lush, tropical rainforests to heather and trees; from valley and open moorland to a lunar landscape of alpine desert, finally reaching the arctic environment of the summit.
 
MOUNT MERU – Africa’s 5th highest mountain
Mount Meru, another volcanic peak, is situated within Arusha National Park and can be climbed in 3 days, though 4 are recommended to break up the steep descent and allow for time to explore the crater and to appreciate the beautiful flora & fauna en route.

OLDONYO LENGAI – The Maasai Mountain of God
This still-active volcano in the Great Rift Valley is one of the youngest and possibly most active volcanoes in East Africa. To trek Lengai takes one day only; the ascent takes approximately 5-6 hours and the descent about two hours.

MOUNT HANANG, THE UDZUNGWA & USAMBARA  MOUNTAINS - Lesser-known hiking & trekking treats
Mount Hanang is Africa’s 9th highest mountain and has numerous hiking trails. Trekking in the Udzungwa Mountains (now a National Park) in south-central Tanzania is a nature-lover’s dream, and walking in the Usambara Mountains rates second to none for naturalists and botanists alike.
