Mountain biking is an exciting and unique way to experience Northern Tanzania’s Kilimanjaro region and a great way to spend a day if you are physically fit and enjoy a challenge.  

We offer various mountain biking day trips which cover a wide variety of landscapes, from lush, green forests and coffee plantations to dry bush lands, to mountains and remote villages. 

Starting from Moshi, you can ride through small villages and semi-desert landscapes to Kikulweta Hot Springs, while enjoying impressive views over Mount Kilimanjaro and stopping at the Maasai market in Rundugai village along the way. Your reward will be to relax in the crystal-clear waters of the hot springs before riding back to Moshi. 

Moshi is also fairly close to the beautiful village of Materuni located on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. If you choose to embark on this adventure, you will ride uphill for approximately 14km to reach the village. Once there, you will leave your mountain bike behind and continue on foot, hiking across tropical rainforest covered hills and past coffee and banana plantations. You will learn about the Chagga tribe’s way of life and learn how coffee is harvested and processed. You will also enjoy a delicious local lunch and have a chance to swim in the cool waters of the impressive Materuni Waterfall.

If you are looking for an even greater challenge and dream of setting foot on the great Mount Kilimanjaro, we will transfer you from your hotel in Moshi to Mount Kilimanjaro’s Londorossi Gate where your mountain biking tour will begin. You will start off by cycling through the rainforest where you may spot monkeys and other small animals, followed by a vast heath and moorland zone. Finally you will arrive at Shira Plateau where you will turn around and enjoy a more relaxing downhill ride back to Londorossi Gate. The total biking distance is approximately 47km. 

These are just a few of the many biking tours that we can organize for you in the Kilimanjaro region. Our itineraries are flexible and tailor-made to suite your needs and interests. For more information about biking tours, please contact us and start organizing your unforgettable experience today!
