Day Plan
Hour-by-hour overview
Meet at your Arusha hotel at approximately 07:00. Transfer to the starting point on the outskirts of Arusha where bikes are fitted. Receive a safety briefing and route overview from your cycling guide. Begin the ride south toward Moshi.
The first 25 km takes you through the outskirts of Arusha into the Usa River area. The terrain is mostly tarmac with gentle rolling hills. Pass coffee farms, small villages, and the lush green slopes of Mount Meru to the west. The support vehicle follows at a comfortable distance.
The second half of the ride — approximately 40 km — takes you through sugarcane plantations, acacia scrubland, and Chagga villages on the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro. Stop for a packed picnic lunch at a scenic spot with Kilimanjaro views. Continue pedalling into Moshi.
Arrive in Moshi in the early afternoon. Celebrate with a cold drink and a meal at a local cafe. The bikes are loaded onto the support vehicle, and you transfer back to Arusha by road, arriving around 16:30–17:00.
