Adventure-seeking cyclists, get ready for a ride like no other! The Cycle Kilimanjaro Shira Plateau tour invites mountain biking enthusiasts to test their mettle on the slopes of Africa’s tallest peak. Starting early from Moshi, you’ll be transported to the Londorossi Gate on Kilimanjaro’s western flank, where your bicycle tour begins. Pedal through the lush forest zone, keeping an eye out for playful primates, and ascend into the heather and moorland areas, where larger wildlife may appear against the dramatic landscape.
The route leads to the Shira Plateau helipad, offering breathtaking views of the iconic Kibo peak—a true reward for your efforts. After snapping some memorable photos, enjoy an exhilarating downhill ride back to the starting point. Transfers to and from Arusha can be arranged for added convenience.
The standout feature of this trip is the rare opportunity to cycle in Kilimanjaro’s unique and varied ecological zones, an adventure seldom offered to visitors. This tour is tailored for avid cyclists and active travelers eager to combine wildlife sightings, mountain scenery, and the thrill of cycling in one unforgettable day.
