Tanzania is a holiday paradise full of adventure, excitement, and endless thrills. This east African country welcomes visitors from all over the world eager to enjoy a haven of natural splendour. With a magnificent kaleidoscope of colours, surfaces, and textures, Tanzania doesn’t disappoint those seeking the opportunity to marvel at nature in all its glory. The country is home to rolling hills and plains, undulating wildlife and birdlife, scores of stunning beaches, and game parks that are amongst the finest in Africa.

Nature and conservation are two pillars of this fantastic land where top attractions include Mount Kilimanjaro, the magnificent Serengeti Nature Reserve, the tourist hot spot of Zanzibar, and Lake Victoria – the second largest lake in Africa. While Mount Kilimanjaro is world-famous and iconic in its own right, the peaks of Mount Meru are a favourite amongst hikers and climbers and are proving a popular alternative for tourists visiting Tanzania. Located to the west of Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru is smaller and less conspicuous, but as it forms part of the wonderful Arusha National Park, it is lush and fertile boasting panoramic views and scenery.

The surrounding savannahs and forest on the mountain’s slopes has a wide array of wildlife including 400 species of birds, and leopards and monkeys. The three-day climb is worth the trip for those that have the time with climbers passing through rainforests at the bottom and a crater ridge near the summit. The journey is an incredible voyage with many fascinating moments; the experience is an adrenaline-pumping affair and promises to be the highlight of your trip.
