Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Level of Cycling Adventure

🟢 1. How do I know which cycling level is right for me?

We classify all our tours into three levels — Easy, Moderate, and Challenging.
If you ride occasionally or prefer relaxed, scenic rides, start with Easy tours like Moshi Sightseeing or Materuni Waterfalls & Coffee Ride.
If you’re used to longer rides or mild off-road cycling, choose a Moderate tour such as West Kilimanjaro Safari Ride.
For endurance riders seeking an adventure challenge, go for Challenging tours like the 6 Days Kilimanjaro 360° Cycling Tour.

🟡 2. Do I need to be very fit to join a cycling tour?

Not necessarily! We have tours for every fitness level.
If you can comfortably ride a bike for 2–3 hours, you can enjoy our Easy or Moderate tours.
For longer expeditions, such as our Kilimanjaro or Tarangire cycling adventures, a good level of fitness and some cycling experience are recommended.

🔴 3. What’s the difference between Easy, Moderate, and Challenging levels?

Easy: Mostly flat routes, short distances (15–30 km/day), ideal for families and beginners.

Moderate: Mixed terrain, 40–70 km/day, includes some climbs and off-road paths.

Challenging: Long distances (60–100+ km/day), high elevation and technical trails for experienced cyclists.

🚵 4. What kind of bikes do you provide?

We provide high-quality mountain bikes suitable for off-road and long-distance rides.
Each bike is maintained before every trip, and we include helmets, spare tubes, and basic repair tools. Riders may bring their own pedals or seats if preferred.

🧭 5. Are the cycling tours guided and supported?

Yes, all our tours are fully guided and supported.
You’ll have a professional cycling guide, mechanic, and support vehicle carrying luggage, water, and supplies.
If you get tired, you can always ride in the support vehicle.

🌦️ 6. What is the best season for cycling in Tanzania?

The best time for cycling adventures is during the dry seasons — from June to October and December to March.
During these months, the weather is pleasant, the trails are dry, and the mountain views are clear.
