WELCOME TO TANZANIA!
MOUNTAIN FARM
After arrival at the airport (Kilimanjaro Int. Airport, Arusha Airport or Moshi Airport) you’ll be picked up and transfered to the farm cottages where you stay for the night. Rest and relax at this beautiful located, cozy mountain-farm. The cottages sit on a ridge at about 1800 meters on the south-eastern flanks of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Bike and gear-check and optional light hiking, swimming or exploring the farm and village.
STAY AT FARM COTTAGES
The farm cottages provide an unforgettable experience for those seeking cultural enrichment and wanting to feel the daily rhythms and vibrancy of the African village life. Guests enjoy the warm hospitality of the local Chagga people, who settled the slopes of Kilimanjaro, a range of invigorating activities and freshly prepared cuisine made from organic produce grown right at the farm! The cottages sit on a ridge at about 1800 meters on the south-eastern flanks of Mount Kilimanjaro. The farm lodge contains large gardens of tropical and temperate fruits and vegetables, which provide most of the ingredients of the fresh home‐cooked meals.
START OF YOUR CYCLING ADVENTURE
Follow your guide, cycling down from Mbahe to the tarmac road along the eastern flank of Kilimanjaro. The serpentine road passes through vibrant Chagga farming villages full of small shops and churches, set amongst maize, coffee and banana farms. The overnight stop is just below the entrance gate for the Rongai climb route up Kilimanjaro.
RIDING SURFACES: You’ll ride on dirt roads, trails, and footpaths, and some sections of paved road. Inclines are generally gentle, but expect some steep segments and stretches that will require pushing for all but the strongest cyclists. There may be rocky, bumpy, rutted, washboard, or slick sections. Be prepared for all riding surfaces.
Approx. distance: 44 miles / 71 km cycling
TENTED STAY ON THE KILIMANJARO SLOPES
The overnight camp site is set in a large garden amongst a wooded forest with views over the Kenya plains. Relax after this first cycling day and enjoy the skills of the local cooking staff.

The route passes through the Rongai Forest, home to black-and-white colobus monkeys, which you may see roadside. You enter Maasai land with the dirt track which traverses a sparsely settled area inhabited by these proud herdsmen.
Approx. distance: 31 miles / 50 km cycling
HEAR THE CHILDREN SING
At the campsite which is located nearby a primary school ground, you may hear the Maasai school children singing at the close of school while you relax with tea and snacks at the end of a satisfying cycling day. Admire the brilliant sunset reflecting off Kilimanjaro’s Kibo Peak.
WEST OF MOUNT KILIMANJARO
The route is now exclusively dirt tracks and passing through farmland of Maasai who have chosen to settle and grow crops. You are heading south, the mountain on your left and the open plains below, where elephant, zebra and giraffe freely roam. Savor a hearty lunch upon arrival at the overnight farm. Relax in the afternoon or explore the area with a hike to the nearby gorge. Return in time for well-deserved sundowners on the verandah.
Approx. distance: 19 miles / 30 kms cycling
FARM STAY
Your overnight stay is at a working farm on 3,500 acres of rolling hills in West Kilimanjaro, offering breathtaking views of Kilimanjaro to the east and the Maasai steppe and Mount Meru to the west. Ask for the many activities to do at the farm and around.
ZANZIBAR
Depending on the check-in time for your flight to Zanzibar, you have the morning to explore the farm on foot, bike or farm vehicle. Or, for the enthusiastic cyclist, extend your ride by continuing on quiet dirt roads and footpaths amongst the remote farming villages abutting the mountain, finishing in the small market town of Sanya Juu.
