This three-day, guided climb takes you to the top of Mount Meru in Tanzania. Mount Meru is the third highest peak in Africa and Tanzania's second highest mountain, with the elevation of 4,568m. Located in Arusha National Park, the mountain is less popular than its taller sibling, Mount Kilimanjaro. Nevertheless, it offers a great climbing experience and is significantly less crowded than Kilimanjaro.
The ascent is quite steep and the route to the summit passes over streams, through parklands, forests and a moorland. You will reach the summit via a narrow, barren ridge, which provides stunning views. The technical requirements for climbing Mount Meru are greater than on Kilimanjaro routes.
In addition to climbing the mountain, this trip also offers trekkers the chance to spot a wide variety of wildlife as the mountain falls within Arusha National Park.
We will drive you back to your accommodation in Moshi after the climb is over. Please scroll down to the itinerary section for more details.
Brace yourself to conquer the highest mountain in Africa. Our 7-day Mount Kilimanjaro trek will not only take you to the highest point in Africa but will also provide you with the opportunity to see some of the most important natural landmarks in the area.
Take the Marangu route to the summit. The route is popular among hikers mainly because it is the only route with travellers' huts along the way. Spend two days acclimatizing, including spending a day in Horombo.
Travel around the base of Maundi Crater, past moorlands, and take a detour to see Kibo Crater. See some unique natural fauna along the way, including the giant lobelia.
Enjoy our full-board service all the way to the top of Africa.
Embark on an unforgettable safari adventure across Tanzania’s iconic landscapes. Nestled beneath the dramatic escarpment of the Great Rift Valley, Lake Manyara National Park is famed for its soda lake, teeming with flamingos, tree-climbing lions, and one of Africa’s largest elephant populations. Here, you will get to enjoy an exciting afternoon game drive.
The journey continues to the world-renowned Serengeti National Park, via the lush highlands of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Experience endless plains and diverse wildlife, including the Seronera region's thriving animal populations. Optional hot-air balloon rides over the Serengeti offer an unparalleled perspective of the awakening wilderness. Stay at the charming Domel Wilderness Camps, perfectly situated for exploring this rich habitat.
Next, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a Unesco World Heritage Site, and witness its stunning ecosystems, from vast herds of herbivores to apex predators. Visit historic Olduvai Gorge en route, where the cradle of humanity unfolds. The adventure concludes with the tranquil beauty of Tarangire National Park, renowned for its majestic baobabs and large elephant herds.

This 3 day Maasai Mara Safari Trip takes you to Maasai Mara National Reserve, one of the most popular safari destinations in Africa, and host to a huge concentration of wildlife along with lion, elephant, zebra, wildebeest, cheetah and many others.
Maasai Mara is the perfect place for good wildlife viewing. It is renowned for its impressive number of big cats, most notably large prides of lions. You may also spot the odd cheetah as well, or the elusive leopard.
The Serengeti plains, irrigated by the River Mara, make up much of the park and sustain huge populations of migratory animals, including wildebeest, giraffe and zebra. 4WD safaris at different times of the day will ensure you get the most out of your visit.
Please refer to the itinerary to find out what you'll be doing day by day on this trip.
The southern circuit of Tanzania is getting more and more popular. Although it is less frequently visited than the northern circuit, it offers a similar variety of wildlife, varied landscapes, and culture.
The Nyerere National Park is the largest in Africa, approximately the size of Switzerland and is a vast open landscape with savanna plains, woodland, and many lakes and swamps in the Rufiji valley. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982 due to its diversity of wildlife and undisturbed nature.
A guided boat trip on the Rufiji River will be arranged during which you will see many majestic birds, hippos, and crocodiles, probably elephants and, if you are lucky, a Nile monitor or a pride of lions coming down to drink.
Mikumi National Park can be visited in one day from Dar es Salaam, but if you have more time, this charming park is well worth a more extended visit. The vast expanses of the Mkata Floodplain are full of wildlife: lions, wildebeest, impala, eland, and buffalo migrate across the plains. In the Miombo woodland on the foothills of the local mountains, greater kudu and sable antelopes can be seen. More than 400 species of birds have been sighted in Mikumi.
We will also visit Udzungwa - the largest and most biologically diverse chain of forests in Tanzania. This archipelago of isolated massifs has been dubbed the Galapagos of Africa for its treasure trove of endemic plants and animals. Known collectively as the Eastern Arch, the ancient crystalline mountains were formed more than 200 million years ago. Geological changes caused the rising of the central plateau, now the Tanzania/Kenya Highlands, and the formation of the Rift valley.

The Lemosho Route is perhaps the most scenic Kilimanjaro route, from the first day to the last. The trail begins north of Shira, also on the western side of the mountain. But unlike the Shira Route, where for the first day you walk on a wide 4 WD road, Lemosho is a narrow wilderness trail right from the beginning, passing through pristine and remote rainforest with good chances of seeing wildlife. It then crosses the Shira Plateau before joining the Machame Route near the Lava Tower.
Luckily, despite its growing popularity, especially for second time Kilimanjaro climbers, Lemosho sees a very low number of people and truly offers and incredible adventure on the highest peak in Africa, and the highest free standing mountain in the world.
Maasai Wanderings is looking very much forward to providing you with a climb of a lifetime. No previous mountaineering experience is required for this trip.
