Guided Hiking – Day Trip from Arusha & Moshi
Overview
You don't have to climb Kilimanjaro to enjoy Tanzania's mountains. On this guided hike you climb a few hundred metres up the foothills and ridges around Arusha and Moshi, through farmland and forest, to viewpoints over the plains, Mount Meru and — on clear days — Kilimanjaro.
Hikes can be tailored to your fitness and time, from an easy half-day walk to a longer full-day trek. It is also a great way to acclimatise before a Kilimanjaro or Meru climb.
What to Expect
Pickup from your hotel and short drive to the trailhead, where your guide gives a safety briefing.
Hike steadily uphill through villages, farms and forest, stopping to rest and learn about local plants and wildlife.
Reach the top for wide views across the landscape and a well-earned snack break.
Walk back down by the same or a different path, then drive back to your hotel.
