Kilimanjaro Guided Bike Tour
Personalized Service
Let our experienced travel advisors plan your perfect adventure

The epic three-day Kilimanjaro Guided Bike Tour will take you to West Kilimanjaro plains, a region in Northern Tanzania comprising both Maasai community lands and Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs). The area is filled with acacia woodland and open plains that support a remarkable variety of wildlife and spectacular views of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Moreover, the most common animals in the area include wildebeest, zebra, gazelles, impalas, giraffes, and baboons. Depending on the time of the year, elephants can also be observed as the region lies along an elephant corridor linking Kenya's Amboseli National Park & Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Also, this region is home to the nomadic Maasai herdsmen who co-exist with the surrounding wildlife, hence the term "Maasai Land." Given the rich culture of the Maasai people and the variety of wildlife, a cycling tour in this area is ideal for those discerning travelers looking for an unforgettable off-the-beaten-path adventure experience that includes walking, photography, culture, and scenery.

Bike to Maasai Lodge via Ngabobo Village
Today you will start cycling early in the morning and proceed south towards the Ngabobo Village. An early start ensures you cover enough distance before the sun comes out. Today’s path is exciting as you will cycle through the arid open grasslands, an environment completely different from the lush, green slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, which you have left behind. Also, wildlife such as wildebeest, giraffes, zebra, and elephants can be seen in the morning when we start cycling. Today’s route will be shorter but more challenging due to the terrain and weather. To finish, the last part of the path is a gradual ascent on a gravel road as you cycle through the Ngabobo Village toward the lodge. Today you will spend the night at the Maasai Lodge.
Distance 21km
Overnight Location Maasai Lodge
Included Meals Breakfast, lunch and dinner
