Mount Kilimanjaro

Dominating the landscape like no other mountain, iconic and instantly recognisable, Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa and the world's tallest freestanding mountain at 5895 metres. To climb Kilimanjaro is a great challenge but entirely feasible for the active traveller or keen walker looking for something new. In a matter of days you’ll climb Kilimanjaro from the hot plains of Africa through grasslands, tropical rain forest, alpine meadows, moorlands and desert uplands onto snow and ice. Kilimanjaro translates to “mountain of the springs” and its unique position just below the equator offers an opportunity to experience five different habitats from bottom to top, which makes an ascent of the mountain undeniably special. In a matter of 5 to 7 days you’ll climb Kilimanjaro from the equator to what feels like the Arctic.

Other Mountain Treks

Mount Meru is a massive volcano reaching 4,565M. This trek also serves as an ideal warm up for Mt. Kilimanjaro due to its altitude acclimatisation and hiking distances. The trek is also geared towards hikers that prefer less crowds and a challenging ascent. Hikers must climb with an armed ranger due to the wide range of wildlife living on the mountain.
Ol Doinyo Lengai (sacred mountain to the Maasai) sits just next to the escarpment of the Great Rift Valley. So it's part of the intersection between the highlands and the great plain below. It's also only a stone's throw from Lake Natron and the Ngare Sero Waterfall. This climb to 3,188 m (10,459 ft) above sea level can be made in one single day.

Ngorongoro Crater

Hidden in the highlands region of the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area, there are some hidden gems that most visitors in Tanzania will completely overlook. A 40-kilometer drive north of the famous Ngorongoro Crater is the equally impressive Empakaai Crater. It is best explored by a short trek down to the lake where you can encounter wildlife including baboons, buffalo, elephants, and flamingos.
The Olmoti Crater is a sunken caldera that has formed over the past ten million years. While it isn’t quite as dramatic in shape as the Empakaai Crater, the lush surroundings and water source still attract a number of grazing animals such as elephants, buffalo, waterbuck, and antelope.

Gombe Stream

Gombe Stream National Park is found next to Lake Tanganyika and gained popularity after primatologist Jane Goodall begun studying wild chimpanzees here in the 1960’s. Goodall’s work contributed massively to the protection and conservation of chimpanzees in Gombe and globally. Gombe Stream national park is the smallest in the country measuring just 35 square kilometers and travellers who visit the park also get the rare opportunity to see other monkey species like the olive baboons, colombus monkeys and red tailed monkeys among others.
Safari vehicles are an amazing way to roam the untamed plains of Africa, but game drives lack one distinct quality – connection to nature on foot. Chimp trekking allows you to fully immerse yourself in the wonders of Tanzania’s undisturbed, majestic forests.
Get Up Close to Chimpanzees
Being the closest living relatives to human beings, chimpanzees are creatures that boast awe-inspiring intelligence and emotion – and, above all, are fascinating to encounter up close. Yume Safaris offers responsible tourism operations that run ethical, safe and professionally guided tours that enable travellers to observe chimps in their natural habitat on foot.
