You will be picked up at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) and taken to your accommodation near the town of Moshi at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. Today you will meet your guide, who will give you all the information about your upcoming tour and perform a bike fitting with you. If you arrive in the morning or afternoon, you will have enough time for a short test ride through the nearby coffee plantation and the surrounding villages.

After breakfast, you'll begin your journey. Today, your route takes you from the greener southern slopes of Kilimanjaro to the drier western side of the mountain. You'll start by cycling through coffee and banana plantations, exploring the fertile areas of southern Kilimanjaro. As you head west, you'll cross drier open plains and acacia woodlands. These plains are home to an impressive variety of wildlife and offer spectacular views of Kilimanjaro. Moshi is the home of the Chagga people, while the plains of western Kilimanjaro are home to the nomadic Maasai people, who live in close coexistence with the surrounding wildlife. For this reason, this area is also known as Maasai Country. Once you reach your overnight stop, you'll enter a region where wildlife roams freely. Road surface: asphalt, dirt, and gravel roads.

Your ride today takes you through the Enduimet Wildlife Management Area, considered one of Tanzania's best-kept secrets. Bordering Amboseli National Park, Enduimet serves as a protected migration route for wildlife, including African elephants. The area is primarily inhabited by the Maasai people, but there are also large populations of other tribes such as the Chagga, Meru, and Pare. The ride begins on vast plains dotted with acacia trees. Keep an eye out for wildlife as you cycle. The closer you get to the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro, the greener the landscape becomes, with extensive agriculture taking place here. Today's ride ends at Simba Farm, situated amidst vast fields of wheat and barley overlooking the plains of western Kilimanjaro. Originally known as Simba Estate, this farm was established in the early 20th century and now covers 7,000 hectares, offering breathtaking views of Maasai country. The road surfaces consist of asphalt, dirt roads and gravel roads.

Today you'll cycle towards the northeast side of Kilimanjaro to the village of Nalemoru, near the Kenyan border. The Rongai Route to Kilimanjaro begins in Nalemoru. Your ride today takes you through beautiful, open farmland with breathtaking views of the plains of West Kilimanjaro behind you. You'll cycle through several lively towns and ascend the foothills of the mountain to the Rongai Forest. Your ride ends at Snowcap Cottages, located right on the edge of the Rongai Forest. On a clear day, you can enjoy stunning views of the peaks of Kibo and Mawenzi of Kilimanjaro. The road surface consists of asphalt and dirt tracks.

After a few strenuous days, this day will be more relaxed and enjoyable. You'll descend gently to Lake Chala, a unique caldera lake fed by underground springs from Kilimanjaro. You'll have time to enjoy the lake and its diverse flora and fauna. Afterwards, you'll spend the night by the lake, sharing stories around a campfire. If you arrive at Lake Chala early, you can go kayaking.

Today's ride begins with an uphill climb on a gravel road. The route then continues on a paved road through plantations towards Marangu village at the foot of Kilimanjaro. This section is challenging, with some short, steep climbs. As you cycle through Marangu village, you'll pass banana and coffee plantations, and the friendly Chagga people will wave and shout "Jambo!" as you go by. Before reaching your lodge, you can make a detour to the famous Kinukamori Falls. There, you'll have the opportunity to walk down to the base of the falls. During your visit, a local Chagga guide will tell you a short history of the area, its people, their traditions and customs, and the mystical legend surrounding the falls. Finally, you'll arrive at the lodge where you'll spend the night. Road surface: asphalt and dirt road.

You'll spend your final day cycling on a dirt road, sometimes muddy, with plenty of climbs and descents. You'll delve deep into the dense Kidia Forest, experiencing its charm and rich flora and fauna. Afterwards, you'll continue towards the bustling town of Moshi. You'll cycle along secondary roads through the suburbs and outskirts of Moshi Town to the Weru Weru River Lodge, marking the end of your 7-day cycling adventure around Kilimanjaro. Enjoy a celebratory dinner to mark your achievement. Road surface: asphalt and dirt road.

You will sleep well and rest in your hotel. Transfers from the hotel to the airport or another departure point in Moshi will be arranged for you.
