Tanzania Mountain Trekking Tour | Hike Kilimanjaro, Meru & More
Embark on the ultimate Tanzania mountain trekking tour, where you’ll hike world-famous peaks like Mount Kilimanjaro, explore the scenic slopes of Mount Meru, and discover hidden gems like the Usambara Mountains and Ngorongoro Highlands. Whether you’re an experienced trekker or a first-time hiker, Tanzania offers an unforgettable blend of breathtaking landscapes, unique wildlife, and rich cultural encounters — all waiting to be explored on foot.
This trekking adventure is perfect for travelers who seek more than just a traditional safari. From Africa’s highest summit to off-the-beaten-path trails through volcanic craters and forested ridges, a Tanzania mountain trekking tour offers unmatched variety and challenge.
Why Choose a Tanzania Mountain Trekking Tour?
Tanzania is one of Africa’s most diverse trekking destinations. Its mountain ranges, volcanic peaks, and highland trails allow you to experience the country in a unique and active way. Choosing a trekking tour means you’re not just passing through the landscape — you’re immersed in it.
Moreover, these treks are professionally guided and can be tailored to suit your fitness level, interests, and travel dates. From multi-day expeditions to shorter hikes, there’s something for everyone.
Climb Mount Kilimanjaro – Africa’s Highest Peak
No Tanzania mountain trekking tour is complete without climbing the legendary Mount Kilimanjaro. Standing at 5,895 meters (19,341 ft), Kilimanjaro is the tallest freestanding mountain in the world and one of the Seven Summits.
There are several routes to the summit, including:
Machame Route – Scenic and popular
Lemosho Route – Remote and less crowded
Marangu Route – Comfortable hut accommodations
Rongai Route – Dry and less steep
Northern Circuit – Longest and most gradual ascent
Each route offers a different experience, but all reward you with sweeping views, glacier-topped peaks, and an immense sense of achievement.
Explore Mount Meru – A Quieter, Scenic Climb
Located in Arusha National Park, Mount Meru is Tanzania’s second-highest mountain and an excellent acclimatization trek before Kilimanjaro. This 4-day trek is less crowded and offers incredible wildlife encounters as you ascend through forested slopes and along the dramatic crater rim.
Hiking Mount Meru also provides sweeping views of Kilimanjaro in the distance — a perfect teaser for your next summit challenge.
Hike the Ngorongoro Highlands & Crater Trails
Beyond volcanoes, your Tanzania trekking tour can include hiking through the Ngorongoro Highlands. These fertile, green highlands offer a quieter, cultural, and scenic trekking experience.
Highlights include:
Trekking from Olmoti to Empakaai Crater
Visiting traditional Maasai villages
Panoramic views of Lake Natron and Ol Doinyo Lengai, an active volcano
This trek blends nature and culture in a way that few other places in Africa can match.
Discover the Usambara Mountains – Hidden Tanzania
Located in northeastern Tanzania, the Usambara Mountains are a hidden treasure for nature lovers and birdwatchers. These lesser-known ranges are home to tropical forests, picturesque villages, and terraced farms.
Popular trekking routes take you through colonial-era towns like Lushoto, along jungle-covered ridges, and into remote highland communities. It’s the ideal destination for a peaceful, off-the-grid adventure.
🧭 Best Time for Mountain Trekking in Tanzania
The ideal time for a Tanzania mountain trekking tour is during the dry seasons:
January to mid-March (warmer and clearer)
June to October (cooler with less rain)
Avoid April–May due to heavy rains, especially for Kilimanjaro and Meru treks. Usambara and Ngorongoro regions may still be hikeable with proper gear.
What’s Included in a Glitzy Trekking Tour?
Every Glitzy Safaris trekking package includes:
Park fees and permits
Professional mountain guides and porters
Accommodations (tents, mountain huts, or lodges)
All meals during the trek
Transfers from/to your hotel or airport

FAQs Tanzania Mountai Trekking
Tanzania is home to Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest peak, and Mount Meru, a popular alternative for trekking. The most popular Kilimanjaro routes include Machame (the "Whiskey Route"), Lemosho (scenic and less crowded), Marangu (the "Coca-Cola Route"), Rongai (approaching from the north), Northern Circuit (the longest and most scenic route), and Umbwe (the steepest and most challenging). Mount Meru offers a shorter yet scenic and rewarding climb.
The best time for trekking in Tanzania is during the dry seasons:
- January to mid-March: Warm weather and clear skies make for a comfortable climb.
- June to October: Cooler conditions with excellent visibility and fewer rain disruptions.
Avoid the heavy rains in April, May, and November, as trails can become slippery and more challenging.
Trekking in Tanzania requires moderate to high fitness levels, depending on the chosen route. For Mount Kilimanjaro, preparation with cardiovascular training, strength-building, and hiking practice is essential. Mount Meru is less demanding but still requires good stamina and acclimatization due to high altitudes. Proper preparation significantly increases your chances of a successful summit.
Most trekking packages are all-inclusive and typically include:
- Professional guides, porters, and cooks
- Park fees and camping or hut accommodations
- Meals and drinking water during the trek
- Emergency medical equipment (e.g., oxygen tanks and first aid kits)
- Transfers to and from the trekking base
Personal items, gear rental, and tips for staff are usually not included.
Essential items include:
- Warm clothing for cold summit nights and layers for varying conditions
- Sturdy, waterproof hiking boots and trekking poles
- Sleeping bag rated for sub-zero temperatures
- Headlamp with spare batteries
- Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat
- Personal toiletries, medications, and snacks
Your trekking operator will often provide a detailed packing list tailored to your chosen route.

"What Our Happy Guests Say"
EXCELLENT Based on 24 reviews MattyBurt1012025-02-13Verified A Great way of booking trips in Arusha Lewis was very knowledgeable and accommodating with our trips, would definitely recommend him to anyone who is visiting Arusha for the first time or is looking to book a safari, climbing Kilimanjaro or just a trip into town Jay B2025-02-13Verified Great experience We had a great experience booking through Lewis. We booked a 4 day safari and we had an absolutely amazing time. We had a great safari guide Bacari and chef Emanwe. We were very lucky and got to see all the animals you ever want to see. Would highly recommend this it was a great opportunity. Chloe P2025-01-24Verified Helpful and Accommodating Wonderful stay with Lewis at Meru Hostel, and booking the safari, we were made at home, taken for dinner, drinks and any extra trips or advice we required. arganier2024-08-26Verified With Glitzy Safari, and specially with Lewis we had such a great experience. It’s local tour operator, so important. I discovered Lewis, who is one of the tour operators, when I booked for a stay at Meru Hostel in Arusha. One of my dreams was seeing Ngorongoro. So I asked what can U offer me for Ngorongoro and Tarangire ? And immediately I’ve a proposal. and it was a really good proposal, so I answered right away. I really don’t regret it. We spent with my friend two wonderful days. First we went to Tarangire NP, then we spent the night not far from Ngorongoro, in a lodge, Fig Tree Lodge and Campsite, where the food and room were very good. The 2nd day, direction Ngorongoro. U can’t imagine how I was happy being in this gorgeous caldera. An experience I will never forget all my life. Our guide was so kind with us, he made everything for us and participated to this beautiful moment. We spent maybe 4 hours in the caldera. Lewis we also booked a excursion in a Chagga village. This tribe is living around Kilimanjaro. Their agriculture is based on ancestral organic fertilization where they mixed Bananas trees, Coffee plants and small other small plant ( sorry I don’t remember the name). With the local guide, we first go to Materuni waterfalls, on the foot of Kilimanjaro. Nice walk on a little path, between farms. Then we went back to our family’s guide, where we learned how make our coffee. For myself, who like so much coffee, it was so great. As U can read, we had such a nice experience with Glitzy Safari. Thank U so much Lewis. Gianni Cile2024-08-23Verified Trip to Tanzania (Safari, Materuni Falls & Maasai Village) Lewis is an amazing guy took care of me as a brother er organized all my trip to Tanzania including Safari, visit to Materuni waterfall and Maasai village, if I spent a magnificent trip it was also thanks to him!!

Nikita K2023-06-07Verified Safari and Kilimanjaro I did the safari to Tarangire NP, Serengeti and Ngorongoro NP. And i did the 5 day Kilimanjaro Hike! I loved both! Ofcourse totally different! But each tour was perfectly arranged! The food was good! Everything was clean! The tour guide of the Safari did really his best to see as much as different animals as he could. He asked if everybody was good to leave or stay a bit longer at the animal and he explained everything very well! And the crew of the Kilimanjaro are amazing! They always keep an eye on you if you are doing well on that mountain! Also they are so strong! They carry everything! The chef makes perfect food and the crew is very kind! I booked the tour at Meru Hostel! Lewis the owner of the hostel arranges everything so well! You don’t have to do anything at all! Also a big plus, after the Kilimanjaro Hike he arranged a buffet to eat together with the whole crew where you climbed the Kilimanjaro with! Excellent! 👌🏻
