This unique cycling adventure has you cruising down Great Rift Valley escarpments, strolling through farm villages, roasting and grinding your own coffee, drifting off to sleep among nocturnal creatures, experiencing the culture of the Maasai people, pedalling far off the beaten track to trails where no cars go, and of course sipping sundowners at sunset. With a support vehicle at every step of the journey, take your time to discover Tanzania on two wheels.

Total Distance: 95kms. | Riding Distance: 40kms|Riding Time: 3hours.
After breakfast we will cut west across from Longido to Lengai. These aren’t roads you’ll find on Google Maps, and they’re often in poor condition, so your front suspension will be on duty. The amazing views environment and landscapes, however, make it worth the effort. The amount of cycling today will very much depend on the conditions – given the roads, there will be an estimated mix of cycling and driving. The aim is to cycle about 40 kilometers (approximately 3 hours) of this 95-kilometer journey. You travel across dry open plains with the Kerimasi, Gelai and Kitumbeine mountains in the distance and closer by seven remarkable volcanos, the jewel being the spectacular and active OlDoinyoLengai, (Mountain of God’ in the Maasai language). Close to your remote campsite is the shallow, salty Lake Natron. Often coloured bright pink or deep red due to algae, it is a paradise for the breeding ‘lesser’ flamingo. Reaching temperatures above 40°C and with a similar acidity to ammonia, this is not a place to swim, but the view is certainly very interesting.
