Mountains Worth the Climb
From the forested foothills of Mount Meru to the ice-framed summit of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania’s mountains offer an entirely different kind of African adventure.
Whether your dream is standing at Uhuru Peak at 5,895 metres, exploring the quieter volcanic ridges of Mount Meru, or combining both mountains into one journey, Balo African Safaris will help you choose the route and pace that suit you.
Your Mountain. Your Route.
Your Summit Story.
No two routes up Kilimanjaro feel quite the same. Machame climbs through dramatic changing landscapes. Lemosho gives the journey more time to unfold. Rongai approaches from the quieter north, while the Northern Circuit makes a much longer journey around the mountain.
And then there is Mount Meru, standing above Arusha with its wildlife-rich lower slopes and spectacular volcanic summit ridge.
Our mountain treks are supported by professional local crews who take care of the rhythm and logistics of life on the mountain while you focus on something beautifully simple:
one step, then another.
