 At
5895, (19,345ft) Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest, as well as the
youngest, of the three volcanic peaks of East Africa, Mount Kenya
5,199 m and Elgon 4,321m being the other two. Their oldest lava
may be only some 1 Million years old, and small-scale activities
on the Kibo peak has probably taken place within the last couple
of hundred years. Kilimanjaro is a “Central Vent” type
of Volcano, which gives it an oval shape in plain view.
 Mount
Meru
Apart from organizing treks on Mount Kilimanjaro and Kenya, we
also plan for mount Meru trek in Arusha. Like Mount Kilimanjaro
and Kenya; Mount Meru is a volcanic mountain with the height of
4566m, (14,000 ft) altitude above sea level. It can be conquered
with a little bit hardship in three days. A four day ascent is however
archieved with less hardship and this is highly recommended for
a hiker who wants to attempt this mountain to the summit.
Ol Doinyo Lengai Volcanic Mountain
Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano, altitude 2886 meters (9524 feet), towers
above the East African Rift Valley in northern Tanzania. The white
deposits are weathered natrocarbonatite ash and lava. Ol Doinyo
Lengai is a unique and extremely fascinating volcano that is located
about 120 km NW of Arusha, Tanzania. It is the only volcano in the
world that erupts natrocarbonatite lava, highly fluid lava that
contains almost no silicon.

Tanzania
has one of the largest areas of protected lands in the world. It
houses the largest Game Reserve on the continent (Selous) and its
most famous national park (the Serengeti), not to mention the famous
Ngorongoro Crater considered being the eighth wonder of the world.
Here you can experience the landscapes which have captivated the
minds of millions of people. 
Tanzania is endowed with some of the most diverse and picturesque landscape. Its towering mountains in the North are some of the highest mountains in Africa. Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest point, is a great extinct volcano 5,895m (19,345ft) above sea level. Rift Cross can take you to the roof of Africa - Kilimanjaro and to the tops of other attractive mountains such as Meru and Oldoinyo lengai. Climbing these volcanoes is an incredible but manageable challenge. For travelers seeking adventures off the beaten track and spectacular views, these are ideal destinations.
The
white and golden sands of East Africa’s beaches are deservedly
world famous. They are soaked in sun all year round, and surrounded
by coral reef and the exotic scenery of the Indian Ocean. A rest
on a Tanzanian beach will leave you refreshed, restored and intrigued.
Walking through the narrow, twisting streets of Zanzibar’s
Stone Town plunges you into the past.
To many people tourism is confined to the wildlife destination, mountain trekking and beach relaxation.
