There is nothing quite like climbing in Tanzania. This land is home to some of the world’s most iconic peaks, offering travelers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to stand above the clouds, walk ancient volcanic trails, and experience Africa in its purest form. With EastSide Safari & Tours, every climb is more than just a physical challenge — it’s a journey of discovery, connection, and wonder.
From the legendary snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro to the dramatic crater of Mount Meru, our climbing and trekking adventures are designed for those who seek both adventure and meaning. Guided by local experts, supported with warm hospitality, and tailored to your pace, these treks blend the thrill of the climb with the beauty of Tanzanian culture and landscapes.
We believe climbing is not only about reaching the summit but also about the stories you collect along the way. When you choose EastSide, you choose:

Mount Kilimanjaro is more than a mountain; it is a symbol of adventure, resilience, and triumph. At 5,895 meters, it’s the highest free-standing mountain in the world and the crown jewel of Tanzania’s climbing experiences.
With EastSide Safari & Tours, you can choose from several famous routes — from the scenic Machame Route to the less crowded Lemosho Route — each offering unique perspectives and challenges. Along the way, you’ll cross lush rainforests, alpine deserts, and glaciers, watching landscapes transform with every step.
The reward? Standing on Uhuru Peak as the sun rises, bathing the continent in golden light. A moment that stays with you forever.
Often overlooked, Mount Meru is a spectacular climb in its own right. Towering at 4,566 meters, Meru offers stunning views, diverse wildlife, and a challenging trek that perfectly complements or prepares you for Kilimanjaro.
Climbers on Meru are treated to dramatic ridges, crater views, and encounters with giraffes, buffalo, and colobus monkeys in Arusha National Park. With fewer crowds and a rich blend of scenery and wildlife, Meru provides a more intimate mountain experience for adventurers who crave both beauty and solitude.
Tanzania’s climbing seasons offer unique charms. The best times are January to March and June to October, when the weather is clear, skies are bright, and trails are most inviting. Whether you prefer quieter climbs or peak-season energy, we’ll guide you to the right time for your adventure.
Whether you dream of Kilimanjaro’s summit or Meru’s wild ridges, EastSide Safari & Tours is here to make it possible. With us, climbing is not just a journey — it’s an experience that touches your spirit and creates stories worth telling.
At EastSide Safaris, we are committed to delivering exceptional experiences from start to finish. We tailor each journey to your unique interests, ensuring that your safari is immersive, safe, and comfortable. We strive to create authentic experiences that foster genuine connections with wildlife, landscapes, and local communities.
