Tanzania is an undiscovered bicycle tour paradise. From the foothills of Kilimanjaro with its mountain villages and coffee farms to the plains below, and beyond through the Usambara mountains down to the Pangani Coast, there are countless miles of dirt roads, footpaths, and single-tracks to explore.
Half-day guided bicycle rides range from 15 to 50 kilometres and explore a side of Tanzania that tourists rarely encounter.
Rides depart from Moshi Town (or another pre-arranged location with additional transport) and include visits to beautiful coffee estates, mountain villages, rainforests, waterfalls, or the Maasai plains.

The trail around Africa‘s tallest mountain and highest volcano is 230 miles long and involves 16000 ft of climbing. It takes us through solitary rainforests, fertile fields of crop and through wild, dry acacia rich savannah, which is the home of the Maasai.
The tracks around the cloud shrouded, snow-capped roof of Africa are mainly dusty, sometimes rocky, with a few asphalt roads. We spend a night in a Maasai cultural village to get to know their customs, songs and dishes. On a safari in Arusha National Park see some of Africa´s amazing wildlife.

Northern Tanzania is home to some of Africa’s most famous national parks. Within them thrives an incredible array of wildlife, including the iconic “Big Five” – lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos. And the terrain is nothing short of spectacular - from Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, towering over the savannah, to the colossal walls of the world's largest volcanic caldera, the Ngorongoro Crater, embracing a rich ecosystem. Set against this expansive wilderness, the unique circular homes of the Maasai dot the plains and farmlands and towns drape across the landscape. This 9 day cycling tour takes us through rural and remote northern Tanzania at its best.
We begin at a lodge in the western foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, our launchpad for a traverse into the savannah. After an immersive day spent in a village-stye Maasai ecolodge, we venture south to the slopes of Mount Meru and Tanzania’s safari capital of Arusha. We then dart across the countryside to reach Tarangire National Park, renowned for its large herds of elephants. Here we have a full-day jeep safari before continuing onwards on dirt roads to the shores of Lake Manyara. Our final cycling day involves a climb up the escarpment of the Great Rift Valley, leading us to the spectacular, UNESCO World Heritage listed, Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Here we have another full-day jeep safari, affording the chance to see the Big Five and many other animals in one of Africa’s most scenic reserves. The tour ends with a transfer back to Kilimanjaro International Airport.
Join us on this extraordinary mountain biking adventure in northern Tanzania, and immerse yourself in the splendor of these storied and wild lands!
