Hiking in Tanzania: Explore 5 Amazing Hikes. Tanzania is a popular place for hikers who want to see unspoiled scenery and views, as well as meet native tribes and wild animals. Here, you can see Mother Nature’s endless beauty and climb mountains to get to the tops, where you can see the most stunning views. Find out which five walks in Tanzania are worth the pain in your legs because they are so beautiful.

Hiking up Mount Kilimanjaro to Uhuru Peak

Mount Kilimanjaro is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of hiking in Tanzania. It is Africa’s tallest mountain, after all. This hike is not for the faint of heart and needs a lot of planning, no matter how appealing it sounds.

There are several paths that lead to the top, and it takes at least five days to climb. But when picking the best way, it’s very important to think about how fit you are and how much you know about trekking. Adding one or two days to your hiking trip will also make it more likely that you will reach the top of the Roof of Africa.

Hike on Mount Meru to the First Camp (Miriakamba)

Do you want to climb Mount Kilimanjaro but want to start small? How about taking on a part of Mount Meru? Make sure you have your camera handy because you’ll be going through jungles on your way to the Miriakamba Huts. You might see zebras, monkeys, antelopes, elephants, and giraffes.

Empakaai Crater Hike

You thought Ngorongoro Crater was too busy. Then check out a choice that is still great but not as busy! The Empakaai Crater is what we’re talking about. But watch out: the view of the lake from the edge of the crater will take your breath away! But only for a short time. It will be back just in time for you to hike down to the lake and see lots of colorful flamingos. You might even get to see Lake Natron and Ol Doinyo Lengai, which is known as the peak of the Maasai gods.

Climb the Mountain of God: Ol Doinyo Lengai

Ol Doinyo Lengai is an active volcano that you should see. It has one of the most interesting walks in Tanzania that you will ever do. This place has the coolest lava on Earth, and the lava there looks a lot like black oil, which is very rare. When natrocarbonatite lava meets water, it turns white. Ol Doinyo Lengai is the only volcano with this kind of lava.

As you climb the mountain, you’ll understand why the native people called it the “Mountain of Gods.” The views from above are especially stunning as you step on the volcanic ash. Because the way down is just as hard as the way up, make sure you wear shoes that won’t slip.

Walking Safari inside Arusha National Park

A half-day hike through Arusha National Park’s beautiful scenery is a great way to relax and get back in touch with nature. If you don’t want to put in too much effort, the best thing about climbing in Tanzania is seeing wild animals up close. At this spot, you can get close to giraffes, zebras, warthogs, and other animals that live in the area. You can also enjoy views of Lake Momella, swim in the waterfall, and even get a glimpse of the Ngurdoto Crater.

If you really want to go climbing right now, you might want to plan your trip for a time when it’s not so hot. That way, you can walk for longer and enjoy a cool breeze while you do it. Since it is dry from June to October or January to February, these are the best times to go hiking in Tanzania. During the off-season, from January to February, you could enjoy the scenery without all the people.
