From the moment we depart Kilema Gate, the ride will take us through the rainforest zone. Keep an eye out for towering eucalyptus trees, diverse birdlife, and playful colobus monkeys. The rainforest is true to its name—wet and muddy conditions are common—so it’s essential to have your rain gear and warm clothing readily available.
While this day presents a significant challenge, it is also incredibly rewarding. Prepare mentally and physically, as we’ll be cycling uphill to the second station on the slopes of Africa's highest mountain.
