Tour Plan
You will be picked up in the morning, we will ride through the TPC sugar cane plantation area with its small farms and houses. You'll cycle through sugar cane plantations, mosques, and churches. Your journey takes you to the nearby rice fields, where you'll make a stop and, if you wish, lend a helping hand to the field workers.
Afterwards, you will have a better understanding of how much hard work goes into producing a sack of rice. You continue the bike ride through the Rau Forest, a natural beauty located just behind the city of Moshi. Watch out for Colobus monkeys in the tree crowns with their long fluffy tails. As you cycle through this endless jungle, listen carefully to the sounds of wildlife.
Our last stop of the day is at the old railway station, a remnant of the German colonial era. You will feel as if you are on a movie set from the early 1900s and can still sense the bustling energy that this magical place had roughly a hundred years ago. With a little luck, you will enjoy one of the best views of Mount Kilimanjaro while sipping a cold Kilimanjaro beer from the railway station bar, reflecting on today's incredible adventure.
Our guide will then transfer you back to your accommodation, where you can relax and stretch after a day of cycling through Tanzania's scenic countryside.
