About this experience

We will make this trip as unique as possible by making sure it is tailored to each group of clients. Using the years of experience I have of exploring the area, if I have clients that prefer the challenge of uphill cycling then I will make sure I choose a route that caters to this. Yet if I have a group of clients that prefer a more flat, easier route I can cater to this also.
On this tour, you're going to be immersed in the beautiful nature that we are known for in Tanzania, including all of the wonderful vegetation and wild animals. Once at the top, you will see the breathtaking view of the Shimo la Mungu crater, also known as 'God's Hole'. Be sure to have your cameras ready to capture this historic, unique natural wonder. As we pass through the Masai villages on the way home, you will be greeted by the children and families of the Masai tribe, who love to show us their culture and homes. Be prepared to take in everything that this authentic, cultural, unique adventure has to offer.
