Mt Meru
Mount Meru is located within Arusha National Park in Tanzania, approximately 43 miles west of Mount Kilimanjaro. Standing at 4,562 meters above sea level, it is Tanzania’s second-highest peak. The most commonly used climbing route is the Momella Route, which typically takes 3 to 4 days to complete. This route offers a variety of landscapes, from lush forests and open grasslands to rugged, rocky terrain. Reaching the summit rewards climbers with breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the surrounding wilderness.
Mt Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro is located in northeastern Tanzania, near the border with Kenya. Rising to an elevation of 5,895 meters, it holds the title of the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest freestanding mountain in the world. Climbers can choose from several routes to reach the summit, each offering unique landscapes and varying levels of difficulty. Popular options include the Machame, Marangu, Lemosho, and Rongai routes, while the Northern Circuit and Western Breach are favored by those seeking a more challenging ascent.
Mt Ol Doinyo Lengai
Mount Ol Doinyo Lengai is located in the Great Rift Valley of northern Tanzania, near Lake Natron. This active stratovolcano rises to an elevation of 2,878 meters and is known for its unique climbing experience. Unlike traditional rock or ice climbs, the ascent involves trekking on steep, ash-covered slopes, making the terrain particularly rugged and physically demanding. The loose volcanic ash and sharp inclines challenge even experienced hikers, offering a distinctive and adventurous trek.
Mt Kenya (Kenya)
Mount Kenya is located in central Kenya, just south of the equator. Rising to an elevation of 5,199 meters, it holds the title of the second-highest mountain in Africa and is a key destination for high-altitude trekking and technical climbing. The mountain's highest points are the rocky, technical peaks of Batian and Nelion, while the third-highest peak, Point Lenana, is a popular trekking summit accessible to non-climbers. Popular routes to explore its dramatic scenery and glacial valleys include the Sirimon and Naro Moru routes, each offering distinct views and varied terrain.
