Why You Should Go on a Hiking and Trekking Tour
If you’ve never gone hiking in Africa, you are missing one of the best adventure experiences. From Mount Kilimanjaro’s five ecological zones to challenging summiting in Mount Kenya, Africa’s hiking trails are not just about scenery, but connection, healing and community. You can hike and trek solo, join other hikers in a group trekking and just opt for camping safaris, accompanied by expert guides and porters. While some mountain trails require experience, others allow first-time trekkers and climbers to experience the altitude inclusively.
What is Included in a Hiking and Trekking Tour
Professional hiking and trekking tours in Africa typically include expert guides, accommodation, meals, and logistical support on the trail. Lodging can range from hotels and alpine chalets to mountain refuges, teahouses, or fully set-up camp tents depending on the tier of the trek. Type of accommodation depends on the climatic, geographical, and environmental conditions of each mountain trail. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are provided during active trekking days, often including safe drinking water or purification options
Where to Experience a Hiking and Trekking Tour
Africa offers world-class hiking and trekking tours, ranging from towering volcanic summits in East Africa to dramatic canyons in the south and rugged ranges in the north. In Tanzania, you can conquer Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet). Namibia offers a multi-day bottom-of-the-canyon hike through Africa’s largest gorge. Mount Kenya in Kenya has the most difficult climb among African mountains, and the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa are home to dramatic amphitheaters and high-altitude plateaus.
