Trekking Safaris

In general this programme complements the normal one day or half day cultural tour with a broader and more adventurous experience. This walking programme is designed with a focus on country scenery, surprises of nature, cultural interactions and the very aspect of walking as a recreational exercise. It is a multi-faceted experience in the paths of the villages, plains and mountains.

At the moment, this programme specializes in the following areas:

South West Slopes of Mount Meru

This is an enjoyable village trek. The paths take you across rivers, forest reserves, valleys, hills and farms. The paths are often busy with people laden with fresh farm produce on their way to the suburbs of the sprawling town below the mountain. On your way, you now and again catch a glimpse of that town lying below like a lost world. This country walk is the best way to enjoy the quiet atmosphere of village life. For overnight treks, accommodation is set in local bomas where tents are pitched.

Mount Hanang Trekking

This is an expedition that takes you up the summit of the fourth highest peak in Tanzania. Standing 3418 meters above sea level, Mount Hanang is the most sacred place of Barbaig herdsmen. Barbaig people are a semi nomadic tribe that has preserved successfully its traditional customs. The whole expedition takes three days to include reaching the base of the mountain, climbing and descent. The nights are spent in town guesthouses.

Rift Wall Adventure

This is an assortment of short walks and climbs around the great Rift Wall. It is best done as a break during a long safari. Commonly, these treks take a day or two. Notable places for such adventures are Mto wa Mbu, Mbulu, Longido and Lake Natron.

Mount Kilimanjiro Climbing Expedition

This is a heroic trek that makes one the conqueror of the highest point on the African continent.
