From our bike shop as a starting point, we will cycle to the west side of Mt. Kilimanjaro. We will feel both, big tarmac and dirty gravel road, while we are riding first, through Chagga villages, banana and coffee plantations, as well as green lush forests. After that, as we are going more west, the land becomes less overgrown with plants, with more arid open plains. That is the land of Maasai people, and we will find ourselves in a totally different landscape and culture. While we are cycling small uphills and downhills, we might share the road with different wildlife species. We will end today’s ride in Ngabobo village where we will overnight.
