Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Moshi Town – Coffee Village – Waterfall – Return to Moshi | 1 Day Ride
Your day begins in the morning at around 8:00 am with a short briefing and bike fitting in Moshi town. After checking your gear and safety equipment, you’ll start pedaling out of town, heading toward the lush foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. The route follows gentle dirt paths surrounded by green banana plantations and small coffee farms that define the Chagga community’s way of life.
As you cycle through the villages, you’ll enjoy beautiful views of Mount Kilimanjaro (weather permitting) and get to interact with local farmers, children, and artisans along the way. Around mid-morning, you’ll stop for a coffee tour experience at a traditional Chagga farm. Here you’ll learn how coffee is grown, harvested, and processed by hand — and even get to roast, grind, and brew your own fresh cup of organic coffee using age-old techniques.
After your coffee adventure, the ride continues deeper into the countryside, where you’ll stop at a small local waterfall or picnic site to relax and enjoy your packed lunch. You’ll have time to explore the surrounding area, take photos, and soak in the natural beauty of the Kilimanjaro region.
In the afternoon, you’ll begin your relaxed cycle back toward Moshi. The return route is mostly downhill, making for a comfortable and scenic ride through rural life and open landscapes. Expect to arrive back in Moshi town by around 3:30 – 4:00 pm, where your tour concludes.
