Tanzania is not only famous for its wildlife and safaris but also offers some of the most remarkable hiking opportunities in Africa. From the towering peak of Mount Kilimanjaro to the lush landscapes of Gorongosa and the striking Ngorongoro Crater, Hiking Safaris in Tanzania offer a perfect blend of adventure, scenic beauty, and cultural immersion. Whether you're an experienced hiker or someone seeking a more leisurely exploration of nature, Tanzania’s diverse landscape offers a hiking experience for every level.

Popular Hiking Destinations

  • Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet), is the ultimate hiking challenge. The trek to Uhuru Peak is a thrilling adventure, passing through different climate zones—from tropical rainforests to alpine deserts. The journey can take 5-9 days, depending on the route (Machame, Marangu, Lemosho), and offers breathtaking views and a chance to experience diverse ecosystems.
  • A hiking safari in Ngorongoro Crater is a must for nature lovers. The crater is home to an abundance of wildlife and stunning landscapes. Hiking around the crater rim provides spectacular views while exploring the floor lets you observe animals in their natural habitat, such as lions, elephants, and rhinos
  • The Udzungwa Mountains in southern Tanzania are known for their diverse biodiversity and scenic beauty. Hikers can explore trails leading to pristine waterfalls like Sanje Falls and experience Tanzania’s hidden rainforests, home to unique species like the Iringa Red Colobus Monkey.

Why Go Hiking?


  • Scenic Beauty: Tanzania’s hiking trails offer some of the most diverse and stunning landscapes on the continent, from rainforests and volcanoes to savannahs and craters.
