Ride Where the Safari Vehicles Can’t

Our bike rides follow quiet lanes, farm tracks and forest trails through places most travellers only drive past: the crater lake of Lake Duluti, the farms and markets of Mto wa Mbu, the Maasai plains of West Kilimanjaro and the Shira Plateau high on Kilimanjaro itself. Every ride is led by our own guide, with mountain bikes and helmets, and our Land Cruiser carries the bikes to the start.
