Here are some great things you can do while you are in Tanzania. Hiking Mount Kilimanjaro The three peaks of Kilimanjaro reach a height of 5,895 meters. Depending on the route which people take, Kilimanjaro can be hiked within 4 days, however this is not recommended, and taking 6-7 days is a much better way to take your time to let your body acclimatize whilst ascending up the largest freestanding mountain on earth.

It has over 20 parks and reserves, namely the most popular one the Serengeti and the largest one Selous.
