This exhilarating trip invites adventure seekers on a 230-mile cycling journey around Africa’s tallest mountain, featuring a staggering 16,000 feet of climbing. The route’s ever-changing landscapes include dense rainforests, fertile farmlands, and wild acacia-dotted savannah—home to the Maasai people. The tracks are primarily dusty and rocky, interspersed with stretches of asphalt, offering both challenge and variety for experienced cyclists. A highlight of the tour is an overnight stay in a Maasai cultural village, where you’ll experience their music, cuisine, and customs firsthand. The adventure is rounded out with a safari in Arusha National Park, bringing you face-to-face with some of Africa’s incredible wildlife. Fully guided with all gear provided, this bicycle tour is ideal for those wishing to make cycling the centerpiece of their African adventure. The USP: a rare blend of high-altitude cycling, cultural immersion, and safari—all in one unforgettable tour package.
