Itinerary

We will start our bike tour in Mount Kilimanjaro at One Bike Shop (transfers from your hotel/lodge can be arranged). Our trip will start with a two hours car  transfer to the Londorossi Gate on the west side of the Kilimanjaro mountain. From there we will begin the challenging bicycle ride upon the steep road that will take us through a rich green rainforest on the slope of Kilimanjaro. We will then find ourselves in the middle of many birds and wild animals.

Then, this day trip will take us to the moorland zone from where we will be followed at all times by two beautiful views. On one side, uphill, we will see the magnificent Kibo peak covered with snow. On the other side, downhill, endless Maasai land will bring us peace and calmness. Depending on weather conditions, we will have packed lunch and take a break once we reach Shira Plateau. We will then begin our ride back downhill. Finally, the ride will end at the Londorossi gate, from where we will organize a transfer back to the city.
