Mount Hanang

Embark on an unforgettable overnight adventure climbing Mount Hanang, Tanzania’s fourth-highest mountain and one of its most rewarding trekking experiences. Rising dramatically above the surrounding plains near Katesh, Mount Hanang offers a challenging yet achievable climb through diverse landscapes, from farmland and montane forest to alpine vegetation and rocky ridgelines. As you ascend, you’ll enjoy sweeping views across the Great Rift Valley, Lake Balangida, and, on clear days, distant Mount Kilimanjaro.



The trek is typically done over two days, allowing for a more comfortable pace and time to fully enjoy the scenery. You’ll hike to a designated campsite on the first day, enjoy dinner under the stars, and rest overnight on the mountain. Early the next morning, you’ll make the final ascent to the summit, where panoramic views reward your effort before descending back down the trail. Led by experienced local guides, this overnight climb offers a memorable, less-crowded alternative to Tanzania’s more famous peaks and a true sense of adventure in the country’s highlands.
