Tanzania has numerous off-the-beaten-track-hiking, Mounts Meru and Kilimanjaro
excluded, and many places are seldom visited by travelers. Some exciting
possibilities include the Pare Mountains near Sama, the Livingstone Range east
of Lake Nyasa, Mailenge Mountain south of Ifakara, the Kitulo Plateau east of
the Poroto, Mt. Hanang, west of Babati, the Mbizi Mountains between Sumbwanga
and Lake Rukwa, the Uluguru Mountains near Morogoro, and Uerewe, Maisome and
Kome islands in Lake Victoria. Kilimanjaro and Arusha national parks are known for magnificent hikes.
Rubondo Island and Mahale Mountains can only be explored on foot, while Udzungwa
Mountains National Park has a number of trails. It is sometimes possible to hike
in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with advanced permission from the
Conservation Authority in Arusha. Other accessible areas include the Usambara
Mountains, the Mbeya Range, and Poroto Mountains. In National Parks, it is
possible to walk so long as you are accompanied by game rangers but there are
formalities which need to have been put in place in advance.
In this planner, we have included basic camping safaris to the more popular destinations only. Please note that the services are most basic and you are expected to assist with camp chores.
