It is not new when people talk about Mt. Kilimanjaro when you ask them about their experiences of hiking in Tanzania. For several obvious reasons, Kilimanjaro has repeatedly made headlines in the news while thousands of hikers have embarked to claim the summit of Africa’s highest mountain peak. Beyond the ever famous Kilimanjaro, Tanzania has other popular hiking and trekking opportunities which are all worth buckling up your hiking boots for. The following are some of the most popular hiking choices apart from Mt. Kilimanjaro:
- Meru
- Olmoti Crater – Ngorongoro Conservation Park
- Empakai Crater – Ngorongoro Conservation Park
- Ol Doinyo Lengai Volcano – Ngorongoro Conservation Park
- Udzungwa Mountains
- Pugu Hills
- Empakai to Ol Doinyo Lengai Volcano
Before taking up any of the above popular hiking trips, you need to know that all of these spectacular walks require a good level of fitness. Also, you need to keep yourself hydrated in the hot climate by drinking plenty of water and fluids. We do not recommend you going out without a professional guide.
