Discover Tanzania’s Top Trekking Destinations

Zara Tanzania Adventures understands that each of our clients has different expectations for their adventures. Our carefully created trekking packages focus on diverse landscapes and terrain, allowing you to choose the destination that provides your dream trekking vacation at a level of physical activity suited to your experience.

Mount Kilimanjaro Trekking

At 5896 m, Mount Kilimanjaro is considered the “rooftop” of Africa.

As the highest peak in Africa, it offers an exciting Tanzania trekking experience covering diverse terrain from banana fields to mountain pastures and deep rain forests to otherworldly moonscapes.

Our Kilimanjaro trekking packages include a midnight ascent to Uhuru Peak to watch the sun rise and take in breathtaking views of Tanzania and Mount Meru.

Mount Meru

Mount Meru, the second-highest mountain in Tanzania at 4566 m, is one of Tanzania’s best-kept secrets.

Taking you through the beauty of Arusha National Park’s tropical rainforest and lush grasslands, the trek ends with a dramatic climb along the rim of the park’s volcanic crater.

Expect to be challenged on this steep trek that is far less travelled than the trails of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Mt Kilimanjaro Trekking Packages

When you book a Kilimanjaro trekking tour or any other incredible trekking experience in Tanzania, you’re guaranteed an incredible adventure that offers spectacular sights and scenery and unforgettable experiences to last a lifetime.

Whether you’re trekking Kilimanjaro, gorilla trekking in Uganda, or enjoying the less-travelled paths of Mount Meru, Zara Tanzania Adventures offers trekking and climbing experiences that are guaranteed to take your breath away.

Mount Kilimanjaro Trekking Routes

Although Mount Kilimanjaro trekking adventures involve physical challenges, we offer less strenuous options to ensure each traveller enjoys a safe journey.

Travelling with our expert climbing guides, you can choose the gradual ascent of the Marangu Route, the more strenuous but scenic Machame Route, the lower traffic and unsurpassed beauty of the Lemosho Route, the unique view of Kilimanjaro from the solitude of the Northern Circuit, or the tranquillity of pristine wilderness on the Londorossi Route.

For the experienced climber, the Umbwe Route is the steepest but most direct path to the summit.

Tanzania Group Departure Packages

If you want a more budget-friendly trekking option or prefer a more structured travel plan, group departures are an excellent option. Consisting of larger groups, this is a more social vacation ideal for solo travellers who enjoy meeting new people on their travels.

Group climbs are also booked during the best seasons for trekking, helping ensure you enjoy pleasant weather and can take advantage of all the beauty the local area has to offer. You can choose from popular routes of Kilimanjaro to suit your challenge level.

Mount Meru Trekking

When you’re looking for a less touristy trekking adventure, Mount Meru offers challenging trails, breathtaking views, diverse ecosystems, and fewer crowds.

You can enjoy a more exclusive vacation where you can connect with nature, learn about the culture of the Meru people, and spend your nights under the stars in comfort at designated campgrounds.

Enjoy cultural interactions, watching the sun rise over the stunning landscapes at the peak, and encountering diverse wildlife from monkeys to exotic birds and warthogs to giraffes. Not for the novice hiker, the trails are rugged and challenging but well worth the effort.

Why Choose Zara Tanzania Adventures

Whether you want to experience it all, love meeting the people of the area, are all about being closer to nature, or want to face the ultimate climbing challenge, Zara Tanzania Adventures has the expertise to plan your dream Tanzanian trekking adventure.

 Verified Perfect Remote Trek Up Kilimanjaro
I have done treks in altitude in other countries and nowhere have I found the level of service that Zara tours have given us. I booked the tour to go with my husband and when we arrived one of our suitcases was missing . Already at the airport someone from Zara tours took care of all the details and once at the hotel our guide Silvano promptly helped us rent all the necessary material that we now needed . When the suitcase arrived two days later, one of the porters brought it up to Shira2 camp for us to bring out what we needed before he took it back down ! Then when my husband was unsure whether to continue on the trek as he was unwell (not altitude or trek related) , Silvano was 100% professional in laying out all the facts so that he could reach a decision on what to do .My husband decided to go down and not only was his descent promptly organised, but back in Springlands hotel he was taken care of until he recovered . Meanwhile the team supported me in my ascent to the summit catering to every detail - I wanted remoteness and for three days across the Northern Circuit we met no one whilst enjoying fantastic views of Tanzania and Kenya . We even managed to be in Uhuru Peak pretty much alone before the crowds arrived which for me was priceless. Everyone in the team genuinely wanted to do the best job possible - and they did. Thank you

 Verified Great and challenging experience. Best support from the guidesand the whole crew.
This week was one of the most rewarding and memorable experiences we have ever had. The hike is not easy, but the support you receive is incredible, both from the guide and from the rest of the group. They truly take everyone's needs into account, whether it's regarding the food or the daily itinerary. We always felt well looked after and encouraged throughout the journey. We can highly recommend this experience. The adventures, memories, and sense of achievement are absolutely unforgettable.

 Verified Great experience: Uhuru peak via Lemosho route
Zara is very organised and I had more porters than other companies because they are purposeful about weight limits to observe porter rights. My guide, Tungaraza Magembe was professional, patient, strong and encourage slow steps from the beginning which helped me to complete the summit. My cook, Baraka, was nice and cooked well, and made me feel welcome everyday. Porters were all strong and efficient. The Springlands hotel has good food and comfortable rooms. Though the curtains are too large light and the room is bright at night, and noise from people waking early is something to consider on non-hiking and safari days. The pool is refreshing and staff are kind. On the first day my driver was late to fetch from the airport but all other trips were fine.

 Verified Great tour - amazing animal sights and experiences - LOVED IT!
We had an incredible experience visiting the Serengeti for 2 full days, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara for a day. We were reliably picked up at the border with Kenya and assisted through the process and ultimately dropped off at Kilimanjaro Airport for an early flight. Our guide Emmanuel was brilliant and made our experience awesome. His knowledge of the Serengeti was enormous and we were fortunate enough through his skills to see the big 5, and so much more. His explanations of the animals and their habits was incredible. We could not believe how close we could get to these amazing animals, and we loved our time. We sincerely thank Emmanuel for his skills and laughs along the way. The accommodations they booked us were fantastic and enhanced our overall experience. We would thoroughly recommend this tour company and definitely recommend Emmanuel. We had the best time and the best experiences.

 Verified Animals in Tanzania National Parks
Meet more than our expectations. I am nearly 80y and no problems doing this trip. Long drives, we are from Australia where we also have long drives to places. Our guide Hassan was wonderful and his knowledge enhanced our experience. Saw the big 5 more than once. Only 1 black rhino, Serengeti but many other animals that are free to roam. My favourite time was an afternoon in the Serengeti, away from others finding giraffe, my favourite, and other animals. Learning from Hassan how they survive. Memories never to be forgotten.

 Verified Unforgettable Safari Experience!
We had the most incredible 7-day safari through Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We saw the Big Five multiple times and even witnessed the Great Migration in the Northern Serengeti! Our guide, Israel, was exceptional! He went above and beyond to get us the best views of the wildlife and always made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. His knowledge and passion made the experience even more special. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for the full Tanzanian safari experience. A truly unforgettable adventure!

 Verified Big 5 Spotted & Post Trip Feedback Acknowledged
We did a 5 day private safari encompassing Tarangire National Park and the Central/Northern Serengeti to see the Wildebeest migration. Our guide/driver, Abu, was incredibly knowlegeable and passionate about the animals and the national parks and we were lucky enough to see the Big 5 as well as two herds of wildebeest crossing the Mara River. Our safari vehicle was comfortable, clean and well maintained. Whilst I can't fault these parts of the trip I did feel that aspects of the accommodation could be improved upon as could the content/quality of the lunchboxes as well as the means of ensuring dinner was served warm. I did provide this feedback directly to my booking contact at Zara and would like to acknowledge that Mrs Ansell, Zara's owner, engaged directly with me to understand more about my concerns and how she could address for future guests. I found it incredibly heartening that the business owner found out about my feedback and is now looking to have these matters addressed......it appears she genuinely cares about her customers experience in Tanzania.

 Verified 10/10 perfection
Every member of staff between the hotels, camps, drivers were all absolutely lovely, polite and great at their job. Extra credit has to be given to the tour guide I had Norah. She was the most friendly, smart and kind person I have ever met. The entire trip was life changing. Experiencing the culture, tribes, people and wildlife in their natural habitats is an experience worth all the money. Their was enough time to do everything, have food, meet people and get enough sleep each evening. All the staff at the Serengeti camp and hotels were so friendly and helpful. Everything was done on time according to the schedule. Everyone was inclusive and welcoming.

Our safari trip exceeded all our expectations! We saw the Big Five and so much more, and we were lucky to have an amazing and knowledgeable guide, Hamza. It was clear that he knew so much, and he taught us a lot of new things about plants, animals, and Tanzanian culture. He was very patient and always seemed genuinely happy and proud whenever we asked questions about the animals or plants. On top of that, he had the best sense of humour! We would like to say a huge thank you to both Hamza and Zara Tours for an unforgettable safari experience!
