This breathtaking area is one of the most interesting and attractive to visitors. It includes two of Tanzania's most spectacular mountains: Kilimanjaro and Meru. The iconic Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa at 5895m but Mount Meru is too easily overlooked. This ancient volcanic mountain is home to grasslands and verdant forests - a trek to the summit is described as "exhilarating".
At the foot of majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, lie bustling towns like Moshi and Marangu where you may catch a glimpse of the colourful, urban life. Arusha is also nearby and is one of Tanzania's fastest growing towns. Surrounded by coffee, wheat and corn estates, it is a great place to stock up before a safari or just browse around. Towards the north you will find authentic Maasai villages. Arusha has been called the safari capital of Tanzania as it is the gateway to the Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Arusha National Parks.
