EXPLORE: the Usambara Mountains

The Usambara Mountains, a hidden jewel in Tanzania’s diverse landscape, captivate adventurers with their lush, mist-shrouded peaks and vibrant cultural tapestry. Tucked away in the northeastern part of the country, these ancient mountains boast rich biodiversity and stunning vistas that unfold as one traverses their winding trails. The verdant slopes are adorned with tea and spice plantations, offering a glimpse into the region’s agricultural heritage. Trekking through the Usambara Mountains unveils charming villages where local communities warmly welcome visitors, sharing their traditions, music, and delectable cuisine. The breathtaking panoramas from viewpoints like Irente and Mambo offer sweeping views of terraced fields and distant horizons, creating an immersive experience that blends nature’s splendor with the warmth of Tanzanian hospitality. The Usambara Mountains stand not only as a haven for hikers and nature enthusiasts but also as a cultural treasure trove waiting to be explored.

As hikers proceed with their climbs, the trail pursues the north edge of the spring of gushing lava’s hole along a sensational edge line. All through the climb, hikers rest in assigned hovels along the trail. Hikers achieve the summit as the sun is rising and they will have breathtaking perspectives on Mt. Kilimanjaro and of the Mt. Meru Crater.

I’m beyond satisfied with my lemosho trek together with Mighty Africa Xpeditions We did the 8 day Lemosho trek with Mighty Africa Xpeditions and we had the most incredible time. Our guide Damian, Joel and Jackson took amazing care of us, the porters were great fun and impressed us with their strength and speed everyday and the food was really tasty every breakfast, lunch and dinner. Once in a lifetime experience and I wouldn't hesitate to do it with Mighty Africa Xpeditions again. You really feel part of the family by the end of the trip.

Mighty Africa Xpeditions was professional and delivered what they promised. We fully recommend using their services. We were a group of 6 people, did a couple of days of safari at Tarangire National Park and Kilimanjaro trekking via Lemosho route (8 days). Everything has been terrific and ran very smoothly! Sarah at the office, it has been great during the booking process. She replied to all our questions with patience and competence. A staff Member showed up at the hotel with our trekking head guide the day before departing for the trekking for the briefing and for checking all our equipment. Colman, our head guide and Sadiki, the assistant guide: they have been professional, very friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond and I'm 100% sure that listening to their advice has been the main key to reaching the summit!, Summiting the mountain was one of the most difficult things I have ever done but with the support of the guides and porters I was able to make it to the summit. It was one of the best experiences of my life and one I won't ever forget.
