“In the vastness of Africa, we find our own vastness.”
Africa’s immense landscapes, rich cultures, and deep histories serve as a mirror to our own inner expansiveness. As we explore its vastness—whether physical, spiritual, or cultural—we uncover new depths within ourselves, fostering a greater sense of identity, connection, and possibility.

Joining Ridgetrek has been a life-changing experience for me. The breathtaking views, challenging trails, and the supportive community have made every hike memorable. I've not only improved my fitness but also made lasting friendships. Ridgetrek is more than just a club; it's a family of outdoor enthusiasts.
I can't express how much I've grown as a hiker and a person since I joined Ridgetrek. Their commitment to safety and sustainability is commendable. The sense of achievement after conquering a tough trail with the Ridgetrek team is unparalleled. Highly recommended!
I'm so glad I found Ridgetrek. The club's focus on environmental conservation and responsible hiking practices align with my values. It's not just about hiking; it's about preserving and respecting the natural world. Ridgetrek has enriched my life in so many ways, and I'm excited for more adventures with this incredible group.
Common Questions
Most Popular Questions
- Please don’t waste water. It is a valuable and often scarce resource in many of the areas we visit
- Never buy endangered species or endangered habitat products. Apart from the fact that it’s illegal, it also encourages the trade to continue
- Buy locally made crafts and products helping to support the local economy
- Don’t feel when bargaining that you have to get the cheapest price possible just for the sake of it. Pay what the item is worth to you and don’t worry about what someone else has paid
- Try the local food and drinks – this will help to support local farmers and food sellers
- Dispose of litter appropriately on your trip. This includes cigarette butts. Not only does litter look unsightly it can be lethal to wildlife
- Remove unnecessary packaging before you go
- To avoid unnecessary pollution of local water supplies take environmentally friendly toiletries with you
- Why not invest in a wind-up or solar-powered torch or media player before you travel?
- Learn some of the local language and read up on the local history/culture before you go
- Why not pack some pens/pencils exercise books in your rucksack and they can be donated to a local school or project while you’re away. These items can also be purchased locally and will help local businesses
- Take a sturdy water bottle with you from home that you can re-use throughout your trip
All towns and cities have their share of petty crime and sensible precautions need to be taken. Wearing expensive looking jewellery/watches and carrying cameras, will draw unnecessary attention. You may find a simple money belt is more discrete than a bag. Always be aware of your surroundings and when approached by people you do not know, use your common sense. At night in towns it’s best to use a taxi, rather than walking around the streets. Single women in particular need to be careful & we suggest that it is safer to be in a group.
- Most lodges and tented camps have wifi
- Some camp-sites have wifi, but this should not be relied upon
- The signal strength is variable
- It is possible to buy a SIM card with data that can be used. If you want to use it in your phone, you will need to make sure it is unlocked. You can also buy a fairly cheap phone in Tanzania for this purpose
- There are Vodacom and Airtel shops in Arusha that will be able to help / advise with this
The African sun can be brutal so be sure to bring a good pair of sunglasses so you can protect your eyes. You’ll also need a hat that shades your face and covers your ears and neck so you have maximum sun protection. Of course, take plenty of high-protection sun cream and lip salve.
As you want to be careful not to over pack, you need to think carefully about what shoes to take. As long as you are not going on a safari that requires a lot of walking, you will be fine with some light hiking boots and some sports sandals (sandals are also great for walking around the camp at night). You may also like to take flip flops for the showers.
Pack for hot days and cool nights. Tanzania can be hot and dusty by day but it is often cool and crisp by night. Layers are ideal for safari days. Pack clothing that is able to keep you cool but protect you from the sun and biting insects. Choose mid-tone colours and avoid white or bright colours that may distract the animals and dark colours like black and blue as these can attract tsetse flies. The best colours are the safari classics: olive, green and khaki. For evenings at lodges you can stay in your casual gear as even the luxury lodges do not expect smart wear out in the bush. Check the temperature before you travel to make sure you have clothing that is warm enough for the season. It is always a good idea to bring a waterproof coat, whatever the season.
Choose a duffel bag or soft-sided bag. Ideally, the fabric should be hardy and waterproof and the bag should be lockable. Put anything that is of any value in a separate day pack such as a backpack. Anything of real sentimental or monetary value should ideally be left at home.
