It’s no secret that mountain biking offers a unique and exciting way to experience the outdoors. Tanzania safari radar has expertly designed mountain bike itineraries that showcase the beauty of mountain Kilimanjaro.
The only trail that can access Mount Kilimanjaro with bikes is the Kilema route. Cycling to the mountain is very enjoyable and with the help of our professional guides the whole trip will only take 5 – 6 days and a good chance to acclimatize. Cyclist will commence from the Kilema gate, meet their porters at Horombo and proceed to the summit
On your first day you will begin your cycling to the Marangu gate and after registration you will transfer to Kilema gate and embark your trekking to Mount Kilimanjaro. Along the way we will come across the village of Marangu located on the lower slopes of the mountain. After arrival at Kilema gate you will crosscheck all your gears, including your lunch box, drinking water and extra clothing, and do a final check on the bike. You will begin the first route section of 16km accompanied by your mountain guide who will also be on a bike from Kilema gate to Horombo hut. It should be noted that altitude sickness is caused by fast ascent to high altitude so we will do frequent stops along the way so as to give the body enough time to adjust to higher altitudes
