Day 1
Marangu kilema
Marangu kilema
Your Kilimanjaro cycling adventure begins at Kilema Gate (1,950 m), where you’ll complete registration and meet your mountain crew. After a short briefing, you start your ascent through the lush rainforest, pedaling along a scenic trail surrounded by towering trees, moss, and vibrant birdlife.
The trail is a mix of paved and rough forest paths, offering a true taste of Kilimanjaro’s natural beauty. As you climb steadily, you might spot blue monkeys or colobus monkeys in the treetops. The air grows cooler as you gain altitude, and your guide will set a comfortable pace to help with acclimatization.

Kilema camp to horombo
Kilema camp to horombo
After breakfast at Kilema Camp (2,800 m), you begin your ascent toward Horombo Hut (3,720 m). Today’s ride takes you from the lush rainforest into the heath and moorland zone, where the scenery changes dramatically — with open landscapes, giant groundsels, and heather scattered across volcanic slopes.
The trail is a mix of steep and gradual climbs, requiring steady effort and good balance, especially on rocky sections. As you gain altitude, the air becomes thinner, and your guide will set a manageable pace to ensure proper acclimatization. Along the way, enjoy sweeping views of Mawenzi Peak and the plains below.
Day 3
Horombo to kibo hut
Horombo to kibo hut
After an early breakfast at Horombo Hut (3,720 m), you continue your cycling adventure toward Kibo Hut (4,700 m). Today’s route takes you through the Alpine Desert zone, where vegetation becomes sparse and the landscape turns into a dramatic expanse of volcanic rock and ash.
The trail is challenging, with long stretches of gradual climbs and occasional steep, rocky sections. As you ride higher, you’ll feel the effects of altitude, so maintaining a slow and steady pace is key. Take frequent breaks to hydrate and enjoy breathtaking views of Mawenzi Peak to your right and the towering Kibo Summit ahead.

After celebrating your summit achievement, descend carefully back to Kibo Hut for a short rest and meal before continuing down to Horombo Hut. This descent allows you to recover while cycling through the sparse alpine desert and moorland, enjoying the dramatic landscapes from a new perspective.
