Description

Discover the bustling daily life of Moshi on a leisurely bike ride. Enjoy a traditional Tanzanian lunch in a local home and a cold beer at the old railway station with views of Kilimanjaro.
Cycle through the bustling daily life of Moshi on a guided bike tour. Pass through the small farms and family houses of the Msaranga area, take in the daily activities of schools, mosques, and churches, and enjoy a traditional Tanzanian meal with a local family.

Begin the day making friends with your bike, getting it set up so it’s comfy and becoming accustomed to the controls. Dive right into the bustling daily life of Moshi, cycling at a leisurely pace to the Majengo district of Moshi, which is the heartland of Moshi craft.

Check out the dizzying array of local crafts and hand-made goods artily arranged at the roadside. From here, pass through the small farms and family houses of the Msaranga area, taking in the daily activities of schools, mosques, and churches as you ride by.

Your journey then takes you through yards of growing rice, one of Tanzania’s staple foods and you have an opportunity of helping out the local field workers. Enjoy the product of your (albeit short) labor with a tasty lunch, hosted by a friendly local family.

Once you’ve rested and fueled up, continue your bike ride through the Rau Forest, a jewel of protected tropical woodland, alive with birdsong and the calls of animals. Keep an eye out for the black-and-white faces of colobus monkeys sneaking and peering curiously at you as you’re cycling by.

Once through the shady canopy of the Rau Forest, your last destination is the old railway station. With a bit of fortune, you’ll have a great view of Kilimanjaro while sipping a cold beer from the railway station bar, a lovely final stop before you get back into town where you can finally rest your weary but happy legs.
