Highlights
The West Kilimanjaro plains are a region in northern Tanzania comprising both Maasai community lands and Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs). The region is filled with acacia woodland and open plains that support a remarkable variety of wildlife and spectacular views of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The most common animals in the area include wildebeest, zebra, gazelles, impalas, giraffes and baboons. Depending on the time of the year, elephants can also be observed as the region lies along an elephant corridor linking Kenya’s Amboseli’s National Park & Mt. Kilimanjaro. This region is home to the nomadic Maasai herdsmen who co-exist with the surrounding wildlife, hence the term "Maasai Land". Given the rich culture of the Maasai people and the variety of wildlife, a cycling tour in this area is ideal for those discerning travelers looking for an unforgettable off-the-beaten-path adventure experience that includes walking, photography, culture and scenery.

Tinga Tinga to Ngabobo village | 35k
Osiligilai Maasai Lodge
7 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeToday we will start off cycling early in the morning and proceed south towards the Ngabobo Village. An early start is good to ensure we cover enough distance before the sun comes out. Today’s path is very interesting as we will be cycling through the dry/wet and arid open grasslands, an environment completely different from the lush, green slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro which we have left behind. Wildlife such as wildebeest, giraffes, zebra and elephants can be seen in the morning when we start cycling. Today’s route will be shorter but a bit more challenging due to the terrain and weather. The final part of the path is a gradual ascent on gravel road as we cycle through the Ngabobo Village towards the lodge.- AccommodationsOsiligilai Maasai LodgeFood And DrinksBreakfastLunchDinner
Ngabobo to Arusha National Park | 30k
Arusha National Park
7 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeToday’s route takes us to a new vegetation zone as we leave the arid zone and proceed towards the greener slopes of Mt. Meru. The slope is a gentle ascent through gravel roads as we head towards Momella in Arusha National Park. We will cycle through streams of water flowing down the slopes of Mt.Meru as we head towards the village of NgareNanyuki, a lively small village through which we will cycle towards Arusha National Park. As we approach the park, we might be lucky enough to see several giraffes along the way. Once we get in the park entrance gate, we will quickly make all the paperwork and jump on the car for the short game drive around the park with its Momella lakes, then later we will drive back to the main gate, collect our bikes and ride towards the Ngongongare gate, our route today ends on the edge of the Arusha national park. After resting a bit at the gate, you will then be transferred back to your hotel in Moshi.- Food And DrinksBreakfastLunch
