Mount Hanang is a mountain in northern Tanzania. The peak has an elevation of 3,420 m[1] above sea level. Hanang is located in Manyara Region's Hanang District. It is (after Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru and Mount Loolmalasin) the fourth-highest mountain in Tanzania, if the three peaks of Kilimanjaro are counted as one mountain.[3]

The principal path to the summit starts in the town of Katesh. The climb can be done in one day (10 hours), but it is also common for climbers to spend one night in a tented camp on the mountain and reach the summit on the second day.[3]
