Mount Kilimanjaro: Conquer the Roof of Africa
Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa, standing at an impressive 5,895 meters (19,341 feet). It is a dormant volcano and is one of the Seven Summits, the highest peaks on each of the seven continents.
There are several routes to the summit of Kilimanjaro, each with its own unique challenges and rewards. The most popular route is the Marangu Route, which is relatively easy to follow and has good infrastructure. Other popular routes include the Machame Route, which is more scenic but more challenging, and the Lemosho Route, which is less crowded and offers spectacular views of the Shira Plateau.
Mount Meru: The Hidden Gem
Mount Meru is a dormant volcano located in Arusha National Park. It is the second highest mountain in Tanzania, standing at 4,566 meters (14,977 feet). Mount Meru is a popular alternative to Kilimanjaro, as it is less crowded and offers a similar trekking experience.
The most popular route to the summit of Mount Meru is the Maungu Route, which is a challenging but rewarding hike. The route takes you through lush rainforests, past cascading waterfalls, and up to the summit, where you will be rewarded with stunning views of Kilimanjaro and the surrounding area.
