Itinerary
We have carefully planned out each day to give you the best possible experience. From exploring historic landmarks to tasting delicious local cuisine, each day is packed with adventure and excitement. Join us as we take you on a journey through some of the most fascinating destinations in the world.
Your day begins with a 7:30 AM pick-up from your hotel in Moshi for a scenic transfer to Simba Farm, the starting point of your biking adventure. The ride kicks off with an easy downhill stretch through the farm’s picturesque landscapes before connecting to a rugged dirt road that takes you deep into West Kilimanjaro.
Pedaling through Ngare Nairobi village, you’ll trace the boundary of the Ndarakwai Conservancy before reaching the West Kilimanjaro airstrip. The trail then leads along dusty tracks toward Tinga Tinga village and further south into the dry, golden plains surrounding Ngabobo Village. This striking change in scenery — from the lush green foothills of Kilimanjaro to wide-open savannah — offers some of the day’s most dramatic views. Keep an eye out for giraffes, elands, zebras, wildebeests, and perhaps even shy antelopes grazing in the distance.
The final stretch features a gentle but steady climb on a gravel road from Ngabobo to Sanya Juu, where your cycling journey ends. After a satisfying day on the trail, you’ll be driven back to your hotel in Moshi or Arusha, arriving with stories, photos, and memories to last a lifetime.
