Today’s ride will take you from the lush, green southern slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro to the more arid western side of the mountain. You’ll start your journey cycling through fertile coffee and banana plantations in the southern region. As you head west, the terrain will transition to open plains and acacia woodlands, which are drier and offer striking views of Kilimanjaro.
In this region, known as Maasai Lands, you’ll experience the unique coexistence of the nomadic Maasai people and the surrounding wildlife. The ride will cover a mix of dirt and tarmac roads, leading you to the Olpopongi Maasai Village, where you’ll spend the night.

Today’s ride is a long but rewarding adventure as we cycle from the scenic west Kilimanjaro plains towards the bustling city of Arusha. Our route begins through the expansive Ngasurai open plains, a key migratory corridor for elephants traveling between Amboseli National Park in Kenya and their seasonal grazing grounds. Expect a hot and dusty day as we navigate these rugged terrains.
As we transition from the dirt roads, we’ll join the tarmac road leading towards Arusha. Along the way, we’ll pass through charming small villages and settlements with Mt. Meru standing majestically in the distance. Just before we reach the lively city of Arusha, we’ll make a delightful detour through a coffee estate, adding a touch of local flavor to our journey.
Our day will conclude at the Tembo Club / Carnivore hotel, a boutique lodge situated just outside the city, where you can relax and enjoy a well-deserved rest.
