Activity Overview

East Africa is a paradise for hiking and trekking enthusiasts, offering some of the most spectacular landscapes and diverse ecosystems in the world. Whether you're looking to scale the heights of Mount Kilimanjaro, trek through the lush forests of Mount Kenya, or wander the scenic trails of the Rwenzori Mountains, each step brings you closer to nature's beauty. These treks aren’t just about reaching the top—they’re about discovering the heart of East Africa, where wildlife, culture, and stunning vistas meet.

For those seeking a challenge, trekking up Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Standing at 5,895 meters, the climb offers breathtaking views, from rainforests to alpine deserts, before reaching the snow-capped summit. Popular routes like the Machame and Marangu paths provide different experiences and difficulty levels, making this trek accessible to many, from seasoned hikers to beginners.

If you’re after a less-crowded yet equally rewarding experience, Mount Kenya offers stunning views and diverse wildlife. This UNESCO World Heritage site boasts pristine lakes, rugged peaks, and exotic plants like giant lobelias. For shorter hikes, consider the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can walk through an ancient volcanic caldera teeming with wildlife, or the Rwenzori Mountains, home to glaciers, waterfalls, and rich biodiversity. No matter where you choose to trek, East Africa promises an unforgettable journey into the wild.
