REACH NEW HEIGHTS … MOUNTAIN CLIMBING & TREKKING ADVENTURES IN TANZANIA

Tanzania is home to some of the most iconic and awe-inspiring mountains on the African continent.

At NK Safaris, we specialize in crafting safe, unforgettable, and soul-stirring journeys to the roof of Africa and beyond.

Why Trek in Tanzania?

Trekking in Tanzania is more than just physical adventure—it’s a spiritual and cultural journey through diverse ecosystems, ancient landscapes, and time-honored traditions. With every step, you’ll encounter:

• Towering rainforests filled with birdsong
• Alpine meadows glowing with wildflowers
• Stark moonscapes above the clouds
• Glacial peaks and volcanic craters
• Local guides sharing stories of land and legend

Whether you’re climbing for personal challenge, scenic beauty, or the thrill of conquering a summit, Tanzania offers epic trails and life-changing moments.

Top Mountain Climbing Experiences with NK Safaris

1. Mount Kilimanjaro – The Roof of Africa (5,895m)

No Tanzanian trekking experience is complete without the legendary Mount Kilimanjaro. Known as the “Everest of Africa,” Kilimanjaro is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s Seven Summits. NK Safaris offers several guided routes, including:

• Machame Route (7 days) – Scenic & challenging
• Marangu Route (6 days) – “Coca-Cola route” with huts
• Lemosho Route (8 days) – Great for acclimatization
• Rongai Route (7 days) – Quieter, remote northern approach

Each trek includes:

• Experienced mountain guides
• Porters and cooks
• Tents or hut accommodation
• Acclimatization support
• Pre- and post-climb briefings and lodging in Arusha or Moshi

This is a bucket-list experience that pushes your limits and rewards you with a once-in-a-lifetime sunrise above the clouds at Uhuru Peak.

2. Mount Meru – Kilimanjaro’s Little Sister (4,566m)

Often overlooked but equally thrilling, Mount Meru is a stunning volcanic mountain located within Arusha National Park. It’s ideal for:

• Pre-Kilimanjaro acclimatization
• Shorter but scenic treks (3–4 days)
• Wildlife sightings (zebras, giraffes, monkeys) on the lower slopes
• Dramatic views of Kilimanjaro from the summit

The trek begins with a forest hike led by armed rangers and ascends to open alpine terrain. It ends with a rewarding sunrise summit over the Ash Cone crater rim.

3. Ol Doinyo Lengai – The Sacred Mountain of the Maasai (2,962m)

Known as the Mountain of God, Ol Doinyo Lengai is an active volcano in northern Tanzania’s Lake Natron region, revered by the Maasai as a sacred site. This challenging overnight climb offers:

• A steep, adventurous ascent under moonlight
• A rare opportunity to stand on an active volcano
• Stunning sunrise views over Lake Natron and the Great Rift Valley
• A raw and remote trekking experience far from the crowds

This trek is best for seasoned hikers with a taste for rugged, spiritual adventure.
