Climbing Kilimanjaro by bicycle

After breakfast, you will be transferred to the One Bike shop, where you will receive all the necessary information and preparations for the climb. Our first day of the trip will begin from there, heading towards the village of Marangu. Along the way, we will pass through villages and discover the way of life of the Chagga people, the third largest tribe in Tanzania. Overnight stay in the village of Marangu.

This morning, a transfer will be arranged from the village of Marangu to the Marangu gate, where we will take care of the permit formalities for each cycling participant.

There we will meet the team of porters who will accompany us on our Kilimanjaro climb by bicycle. Then, from the Marangu Gate, we will be transferred to the Kilema Gate, which will be our starting point for the Kilimanjaro climb by bicycle in Kilimanjaro National Park.

We will cycle through a vast, lush rainforest, rich in diverse plant, bird, and animal species. The day will end at Kilema Camp, at an altitude of 2,980 meters, where we will spend the night in tents within the camp grounds.

Today's bike ride will take us through the semi-tropical foothills of Kilimanjaro, then along a steep trail to Horombo Camp, located at 3,700 meters. From there, we'll enjoy magnificent views of Kilimanjaro and its two peaks, the "brothers" Mawenzi and Kibo. We'll spend the night at the camp.

This day will be dedicated to acclimatization, a crucial step for climbing Kilimanjaro by bicycle. After breakfast, we will cycle through the alpine desert to the Mawenzi refuge, then return to Horombo camp. We will spend the night at Horombo camp.

The day's cycling will begin after breakfast. Along the way, we'll cross the Senecio Garden with its endemic tree species, then continue through the alpine desert. The trail passes between the two peaks, Kibo and Mawenzi, making this route particularly scenic . At Kibo Base Camp, you'll participate in a summit briefing , where you'll receive all the necessary information for the rest of the climb. The afternoon will then be dedicated to rest .

This part of the route begins in the middle of the night with a zigzag ascent up the slopes. It will take approximately two hours to reach Hans Meyer Cave , after which the climb becomes steeper. The ascent continues for another three hours to Gilman's Point , where we will collect our bikes from the porters and ride along the crater rim to the summit – Uhuru Peak . From this point, we can admire the glaciers of Kilimanjaro , Mount Meru , and stunning landscapes of Tanzania and parts of Kenya. At the summit, everyone can choose to continue cycling or walking , depending on their fitness level and the guide's recommendations. On the way back, we will stop at Kibo Base Camp for brunch before continuing to Horombo Camp .

After a restful night and breakfast, we'll make our final descent by bicycle through the moorland and rainforest to the Kilema Gate. From there, you'll be transferred to the Marangu Gate for departure formalities and then to your hotel. Cycling back from Kilema to Moshi is optional.
