Mount Kilimanjaro, 'The Roof of Africa', majestically rises above the Tanzanian plains. Its lower reaches are graced with a lush rainforest and coffee farms. In its shadow sprawls the endless East African savannah – the ancestral land of the Maasai people – where elephants roam and lions stalk herds of grazing gazelles. And to the east, the gentle tides of the Indian Ocean wash up against palm-fringed beaches and historic coastal towns. Countless dirt roads radiate across this vast domain, inviting the intrepid mountain biker to get up close and personal with the richness of Tanzanian culture and wilderness.
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 further east to hike to a waterfall enveloped in thick jungle. We savor fresh Arabica coffee, expertly harvested and brewed by proud Chaggu farmers, before transferring south to Mkomazi National Park. Here we go on a game drive for a hopeful chance to spot endangered black rhinos and wild dogs. Approaching the coast, we’ll delve into the mesmerizing and legend-shrouded Amboni Caves and encounter the azure waters of the Indian Ocean. We then spend our final days riding the backwaters of coastal Tanzania, overnighting in beachside accommodations and discovering vibrant maritime towns steeped in Swahili, Arabic, and colonial history. We ride through Saadani National Park, Tanzania’s only wildlife sanctuary that meets the sea, on a “safari by bike” in the territory of elephants, lions, leopards and buffaloes. The tour ends with a transfer to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania’s largest city.
Join us on this unforgettable 9-day mountain biking adventure in northeastern Tanzania, and go far beyond safaris and the traditional tourist trails!

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.
