Cycling Kilimanjaro to the Indian Ocean

Adventure seekers and cycling enthusiasts, get ready for an extraordinary journey—"Cycling Kilimanjaro to the Indian Ocean" is a 9-day mountain biking trip through Tanzania’s most iconic landscapes. Starting in Moshi and ending in Dar Es Salaam, this guided tour lets you pedal from the lush foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, across Maasai savannahs, and all the way to the palm-fringed coast of the Indian Ocean.

The itinerary weaves together cultural encounters—stay at a Maasai ecolodge, sample fresh coffee with Chaggu farmers—and natural wonders, from the jungle-shrouded Materuni Waterfall to game drives in Mkomazi National Park, where you might spot black rhinos and wild dogs. Ride through ancient cave systems, coastal backwaters, and vibrant maritime towns steeped in Swahili, Arabic, and colonial influences.

The highlight? A “safari by bike” through Saadani National Park, Tanzania’s only wildlife reserve that meets the sea, cycling in the territory of elephants, lions, and buffaloes. Each night, rest in unique accommodations, from village lodges to beachside retreats.

What sets this trip apart is its blend of active cycling, wildlife encounters, and rich cultural immersion—offering a two-wheeled perspective on Tanzania that goes far beyond a traditional safari.
