Enjoy the Adventure
Mountain biking in West Kilimanjaro offers an exhilarating way to explore one of Tanzania’s premier game reserves.
For those who are reasonably fit, confident on a bike, and eager for adventure, this experience is truly unforgettable. Picture yourself pedaling along red dirt roads, the sun warming your back, with breathtaking horizons stretching out before you. Suddenly, you might spot a herd of zebras, impalas, or wildebeests grazing in the distance. Regardless of how many wild animals you encounter on your trip, the thrill of seeing them in their natural habitat for the first time will be a lasting memory.

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.
At 7:30 AM, you’ll be transferred from your hotel in Moshi to Simba Farm, where your bike tour will begin. The day starts with a downhill ride through the farm, heading towards the main rough road. From there, you’ll follow the road through Ngare Nairobi village and cycle along the Ndarakwai Conservancy border towards the West Kilimanjaro airstrip.
Continuing on the main dirt road, you’ll head towards Tinga Tinga village and then proceed south to Ngabobo Village. This section takes you through arid, open grasslands, a stark contrast to the lush, green slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro you’ve left behind. Look out for wildlife such as wildebeests, giraffes, zebras, and elands.
The final part of your ride involves a gradual ascent on a gravel road as you cycle from Ngabobo Village to Sanya Juu, where the tour concludes. Afterward, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel in either Moshi or Arusha.
