ACTIVE & OUTDOOR

Mount Kilimanjaro with its snow-capped crown at 5,895 metres above sea level is the highest mountain in Africa. Although much higher than the Mont Blanc, Europe’s highest peak at 4,810 m, the summit is accessible to both professionals and keen amateurs. But it is still quite a climb that normally takes at least 6 days.

NATURE

A snowy mountain on the distant horizon is a rare sight in Africa. Yet Mount Kilimanjaro is just as African as the lions and giraffes. Because of its privileged location, the Roof of Africa is very popular with hikers and climbers. Those who would rather not undertake the long journey to the summit can still enjoy the spectacular landscape around it.

NATURE

Despite the fact that Arusha National Park is a lot smaller than the neighbouring wildlife reserves, there is a lot to see. This is due to its very diverse habitats which are situated around craters and lakes. Mount Meru dominates the horizon and offers magnificent views. And with 2 airports nearby, Arusha NP is one of the most accessible parks in Tanzania.
