What makes Tanzania special?
Whether you want to explore the plains or conquer Kilimanjaro as part of your holiday in Tanzania, it is a country that is best experienced on foot. With more land devoted to wildlife than any other country in the world, Tanzania is dotted with magnificent lakes and colourful wildlife parks, where you can see some of the world’s most astonishing animals. The two most famous parks are Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park, and walking safaris in Tanzania are the perfect way to experience these parks and get up close to the wildlife.
The countryside ranges from the rolling plains of the Serengeti to Tanzania’s two trekking holiday hot-spots, the famous peaks of Meru and Kilimanjaro. Our route up these two famous mountains emphasises careful acclimatisation to help prevent the effects of altitude sickness, giving you the best possible chance of reaching the summits of Kilimanjaro and Meru.
If you would prefer to explore the African countryside and see the wildlife, our walking safaris in Tanzania take you into the famous Serengeti plains, allowing you to enjoy unspoilt wilderness and a diverse range of wildlife, including hippopotami, giraffe, lions and buffalo.
With its perfect mixture of dramatic peaks and rolling plains, Tanzania is undoubtedly the best destination for trekking in Sub Saharan Africa. Mountain Kingdoms is pleased to offer a selection of walking and trekking holidays in Tanzania, allowing you to experience the spectacular countryside with the guidance of our in-country experts.
