On this action packed 12-day adventure we’ll bike and hike (and eat) our way across some of East Africa’s most iconic landscapes. From the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro and the rolling hills of Usambara to the sandy shores of the Indian Ocean, we’ll take an ancient 350km road that wanders through traditional Masai and Chagga territory as well as some of Tanzania’s most vibrant cities and abundant nature reserves. This is your chance to challenge yourself and immerse in the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of the spice road.
