Africa Trekking Overview

Our Trips

Trekking in Africa will bring you from the roof of Africa on Kilimanjaro, to an up close and personal experience with the greatest wildlife spectacle on the planet while on safari, to lounging on the beautiful white sand beaches of Zanzibar after your mountain and safari adventure.

Kilimanjaro is the highest summit on the African continent, yet its ascent can be considered more of a trek than a mountaineering outing, and does not require climbing experience. Our route takes a leisurely pace, suitable for anyone in good physical shape. Mount Meru offers a great alternative to Kilimanjaro, either as preparation for its large cousin, or as a rewarding trek with beautiful views before you embark on a walking safari. 

These African treks can be combined with a safari adventure that allows you to see wildlife firsthand, experience local cultures, and visit amazing beaches. Like all Mountain Madness trips, our Africa programs focus on authentic, eco-conscious experiences: on safari we sleep in comfortable tents with solar panels, and beachside lodges offer simple, relaxing accommodations. 

Our Africa trips can be combined to create the ideal overall experience. Check out some sample itineraries below to see how you can personalize your visit to Tanzania!
