Kilimanjaro to Ngorongoro Cycle | Tanzania Cycle Tour

If the thought of 360km on a bike brings a fear-tear to your eye, look away now. This trip’s not for the fainthearted.

Heck, those people haven’t even got this far. They clicked the x as soon as they saw “cycle” in the title up there.

Not you, though. Cycling’s your thing. Achievement? It’s probably something you’re already used to. And your calves? Phwoar.

Incredible scenery, impressive mountains, unbroken calderas and plain upon plain of the richest wildlife you’re likely ever to see? They’re just the cherries on top.

On this unforgettable trip, you’ll see the most amazing, natural sights that Tanzania has to offer – from the saddle.

The 360km route will take you and your bike across Tanzania’s famous northern circuit in 7 days, from the base of the world’s highest free-standing mountain – Kili herself – to the biggest unbroken caldera on earth, the Ngorongoro Crater.

Keep reading to find out where your wheels will take you during this amazing adventure.

Let’s just get this out in the open. You’re not normal. Sorry. Normal people? They travel from Kilimanjaro to the Ngorongoro Crater in a car.

But where’s the fun in that?

If you want to tick the world’s most incredible natural beauty and wonderful wildlife off your Bucket List without doing it the normal way? Keep reading. Because this adventure? It’s so far from normal that you’ll forget what normal looks like.

The biggest unbroken caldera on earth? Got it. The world’s highest free-standing mountain? Got that too. The feeling of the sun on your back and the smell of the dust around your feet? There’s nothing like it.

Just don’t expect your shoes to look too clean at the end of each day.

That’s because you’ll be completing this adventure from Mount Kilimanjaro to the Ngorongoro Crater on a bike. All 360km of it.

It wouldn’t be a trip to East Africa without a full-on safari either, so you’ll be relieved to know that you’ll be doing that too. Of course you will. But since we’re saving the animals for your final day, you’ll have to prove yourself on the bike first.

Not that you won’t be seeing plenty of wildlife as you cycle too. Those black and white stripy things in the picture just there? They’re zebras, you know. And you’ll probably see loads of them, and other animals too, on the 360km trail.

Now we could pretend that this trip is for everyone, like a lot of the trips we run at The Bucket List Co. But if you arrived without quite expecting to see a bike waiting for you in Moshi? That’d just be awkward.

Not everyone can handle 360km on two wheels in seven days. Only question is, are your calves up to the challenge?
