The 3-Day West Kilimanjaro Cycling Tour is a delightful adventure designed for cycling enthusiasts of all skill levels, including those with limited experience. This unique package allows participants to ride along the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, navigating both uphill and downhill trails while exploring various villages. The tour offers an immersive cultural experience, enabling visitors to learn about local traditions, history, and lifestyles while enjoying engaging conversations with the friendly Maasai people.
The West Kilimanjaro plains, located in northern Tanzania, are a stunning region that combines Maasai community lands with Wildlife Management Areas. Characterized by acacia woodlands and expansive open plains, the area is rich in wildlife and offers breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Wildlife commonly spotted here includes wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, impalas, giraffes, and baboons. During certain times of the year, elephants can also be seen, as this region serves as a vital corridor connecting Kenya’s Amboseli National Park with Mount Kilimanjaro. The plains are home to nomadic Maasai herdsmen, who harmoniously coexist with the wildlife, lending the area its nickname: "Maasai Land."
The cycling route includes stops at several villages, such as Rondugai, Chemka, Boma, Sanya, Siha, Ngare na Nyuki, Ngare Nairobi (a Maasai village), and Olpopongi, before concluding in Moshi for departure. While the tour is accessible to beginners, some prior cycling experience is recommended to fully enjoy this package.

DAY 1: MOSHI TOWN TO SIMBA FARM WEST KILI
After breakfast, we will depart from Moshi and begin our cycling journey toward the West Kilimanjaro Simba Farm. Today’s ride takes us from the lush, fertile southeastern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro to its scenic western plains. Our route starts with cycling through vibrant coffee and banana plantations, passing several villages in the southeastern region. As we head west, the terrain transforms into arid plains dotted with acacia woodlands. Along the way, we may encounter wildlife such as giraffes, zebras, dik-diks, and elands, depending on the timing of our tour.
The plains are rich in biodiversity and provide spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro. The western side of the mountain is also home to the nomadic Maasai people, who live harmoniously with the local wildlife, giving the area its distinctive name, "Maasai Land." The ride will feature a mix of rough trails and tarmac roads, culminating at Simba Farm. Here, you can unwind and enjoy the serene environment before continuing the tour the next day. The approximate distance for this day’s ride is 72 kilometers.
DAY 2: SIMBA FARM TO OLPOPONGI MAASAI VILLAGE
Today’s cycling adventure begins with a downhill ride through Simba Farm, leading us to the main rough road. We will follow this road through Ngare Nairobi village, cycling alongside the border of the Ndarakwai Conservancy and toward the West Kilimanjaro airstrip. From there, we’ll continue along the main dirt road, making our way to Tinga Tinga village. The day’s journey concludes at Olpopongi Maasai Village, where you will spend the night.
Upon arrival at Olpopongi, you’ll be greeted with a traditional Maasai dance, followed by a delicious lunch and time to settle into your Maasai-style hut accommodations. In the evening, you’ll enjoy a guided Maasai cultural tour, learning about their traditions and lifestyle. The day ends with a delightful dinner around a cozy bonfire, creating the perfect atmosphere for relaxation and storytelling.
DAY 3: OLPOPONGI MAASAI VILLAGE TO MOSHI
We will start cycling early in the morning, heading south toward Ngabobo Village. An early departure ensures we can cover a good distance before the sun rises higher in the sky. Today’s route offers a striking contrast to the lush green slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro you previously explored. You’ll ride through dry, arid grasslands, showcasing a different side of Tanzania’s natural beauty.
During the morning ride, there’s a chance to spot wildlife such as wildebeest, giraffes, zebras, and elands, adding an exciting touch to the journey. While today’s route is relatively shorter, it offers a challenge due to the gravel terrain and warmer conditions. The final stretch features a gradual ascent as you approach Ngabobo Village. In the late afternoon, we’ll drive back to Moshi, where you’ll return to your hotel. This marks the end of our cycling adventure and package services.
