SENE has created a 3‐day bicycle tour starting from Mbahe Village and circumnavigating the
mountain counterclockwise to finish at Simba Farm in West Kilimanjaro. This 95‐mile (150
kilometer) route travels mostly on all‐weather dirt roads that loop the mountain at about 5,500
feet / 1,700 meters above sea level. The road takes us through colorful mountain villages, past
lush coffee and maize farms, into cool mountain forests, and then out into the drier and less
densely populated areas on the northwestern slopes of Kilimanjaro. You will enjoy a mode of
travel that allows you to experience more personally the sights and sounds of life on
Kilimanjaro. Carry only your camera and water as your gear are transported for you by our
support vehicle (always available for tired cyclists) to our overnight camp sites with stunning
views of both the mountain above and the plains below. Enjoy filling breakfasts to prepare you
for the day’s ride and a sumptuous camp dinner each evening prepared by our chefs. Lunches
are picnics along the route.

For most providers, the larger the group you are traveling with, the lower the per-person cost will be.
