Mountain Expeditions

A perfect way to bring your expedition to a climatic high is to summit one of Tanzania’s great mountains. GLV is lucky to be situated close to Africa’s highest and fifth highest mountain.

As a group or an individual, this could be a challenge of a life time.

There are a number of different routes to choose, ranging in length, difficultly and scenery. A mountain of this height anywhere else in the world would involve specialist equipment, experience and training. Kilimanjaro is unique in the way it does not require this, just a passion for the climb and willingness for the challenge. This is one of the greatest challenges on earth!

You’ll book your mountain climbs directly with our partner, Safari Care, but we’ll be on hand to ensure your climb coincides with the rest of your Green Light Ventures travel arrangements.

Duration: 6/7 Days

Climb Mount Meru

Mount Meru the fifth highest mountain in Africa reaching 4,566 m. Not well as known as Kilimanjaro but very popular with travellers visiting Tanzania for many reasons. It’s a more attractive climb than Kilimanjaro for many as it only takes 2 or 3 days as opposed to 6 or 7, so costs are considerably lower. One is less likely to be affected by altitude sickness. The climb presents the possibility of spotting game on the way up.

The steep ascent towards the end presenting some light scrambling can feel more enjoyable to those passionate about mountain climbing and trekking.

The view of Kilimanjaro in the distance, if lucky enough to witness once at the top, makes the experience all so worthwhile.
