Meru is a challenging climb and you get the same awesome views so it\u2019s certainly worth a trek: after all, everybody else will be focused on Kilimanjaro so you\u2019ll have the mountain to yourself (well, nearly!). Kilimanjaro itself isn\u2019t for you if you like a comfy bed and a light stroll.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead you need to be prepared for a six to ten day heavy trek through rainforest, montaine forest, alpine heather, ice fields and finally a crater rim in total darkness \u2013 definitely challenging! And you must acclimatize because it\u2019s dangerous not to; you don\u2019t want to be one of the unlucky climbers who have to turn back so close to the summit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further north lies Oldoinyo Lengai, Maasai for \u201cMountain of God\u201d, an active volcano 2878 m high, which produces an unusual, highly fluid lava (carbonate rather than silicate, for all you geeks). The lava weathers easily and creates a rich and fertile landscape that\u2019s a stopping point for the wildebeest during their Great Migration. Oldoinyo Lengai last erupted in 2008 but it\u2019s still leaking lava.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Do you want to hike in Kilimanjaro being part of a small group tour?

You\u2019ll start at midnight and trek through the night, with dawn unfolding as you climb higher. From the summit you can enjoy views of the saltwater flats of Lake Natron and Kenya beyond. It really is a remarkable climb.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p><em>Travel on: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/i\/tanzania-hiking-trekking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a Tanzania trekking tour <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<h2>2.

This means they are perfect for snorkelling and diving and, if you\u2019re a beginner diver, there are many safe dive schools that offer lessons. If you want a more than awesome diving experience, head for Pemba Island, just north of Zanzibar. Also known as \u201cThe Green Island\u201d because of its lush terrain, Pemba\u2019s offshore coral reef and steep dive walls of the Pemba Channel make it one of the best dive locations in East Africa. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even more off the beaten track is Mafia Island, a gorgeous gem with rich reefs in a well-managed marine park and an amazingly diverse ecosystem \u2013 estuarine, marine, mangrove and coral reef. It\u2019s full of history and culture, too. Offshore at Kilindoni Harbour on Mafia Island, you\u2019ll get the opportunity to watch and even dive with whale sharks, those beautiful 8m long giants that look terrifying but are wonderfully gentle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>4.
