Three of the big Mountains found in Tanzania, we have give few of the explanations on them. Challenge your self by hiking one of this beautiful mountains

Mt. Kilimanjaro

Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, presents a formidable challenge. Successfully climbing this mountain is an accomplishment to be proud of. The mountain can be approached through several routes: Marangu, the most commonly used path; Machame Route, from the southwest descending at Mweka; Umbwe Route, probably the most scenic non-technical route; Rongai route – from the East descending via Marangu offers scenic views and experience of seeing two sides of the mountain.

Mt. Meru

Some call Mount Meru a ‘warm up to Mount Kilimanjaro,’ and many climb Mount Meru as a way of acclimatizing to altitude prior to climbing Mt Kili​​manjaro

Mount Meru is a dormant kilometres located 70km  (43 mi) west of Mount Kilimanjaro in the country of Tanzania. At a height of 4,562.13 metres (14,968 ft), it is visible from Mount Kilimanjaro on a clear day and is the fifth-highest mountain in Africa

Mount Meru is located just north of the city of Arusha, in the Arusha Region of Tanzania. It is the second-highest mountain in Tanzania, after Mount Kilimanjaro.

 

The Momella route – which starts at Momella gate, on the eastern side of the mountain – is used to climb Mount Meru.

Mount Meru is the topographic centerpiece of Arusha National Park. Its fertile slopes rise above the surrounding savanna and support a forest that hosts diverse wildlife, including nearly 400 species of birds, and also monkeys and leopards

Mt. Oldonyo Lengai

In Maasai language Ol Doinyo Lengai means “Mountain of God”. At 2,962m , it is an active volcano in the Great Rift Valley, South of Lake Natron, and is part of the volcanic system of the East African Rift. 

 

Climbing Oldoinyo Lengai

A number of people climb Oldoinyo Lengai each year. It is not a technical climb, but it is a very demanding and sometimes dangerously steep walk and scramble. You should be fit, strong and above all VERY determined. Everyone who has climbed has their own experience to tell and his or her own advice to give; here is Ours.

Oldoinyo Lengai lies in Tanzania and should be approached from the south (i.e. from Arusha and Mto wa Mbu Village) or (more difficult) from the west (from the Serengeti Plains, Crater Highlands, and Olduvai Gorge)
