Hiking

Tanzania is a hiking paradise. From hosting the so called “roof of Africa”, mount kilimanjaro, to the scenic Usambara and Uluguru mountains, this Eastern African country is the best hiking destination in Africa.

Hiking in Tanzania will bring you through rain forests where endemic animals and plants species inhabit in harmony with the local Tanzanian tribes.

The Usambara mountains with its endemic two and three horned chameleons are without a doubt one of the most fertile regions in the country, while the Uluguru mountains are home to mesmerizing waterfalls and stunning views of the Morogoro city.
