The Moshi & Surroundings Bike Tour
A new place, like Moshi can hardly
be better explored than on the bicycle, with the wind in your face, wrapped in
new noises and smells, you will experience an adventure of a very different
kind! This guided bike tour is not only for adrenaline junkies, but for
cultural orientated people alike. No doubt this 20km Moshi bike tour is for old
and young alike. The route takes you from the bustling main roads, to the
nearby villages, via forest trails and along tiny paths through rice fields. An
ideal excursion for those who want to spend their holidays getting close to the
locals and the communal life.
TOUR ITINERARY
You start the day with an
instruction by your guide to the bikes and Tanzanian traffic. Once familiar
with the bike you will drive from your accommodation to the district of Majengo with its local craftsman shops.
There is a vast range of produces in this area from metal beds to wood chairs
and tables, all nicely arranged on the side of the roads. Undoubtedly you dive
right into the bustling daily Moshi life!
From here you pass through the Msaranga area with its small farms and
houses. You’ll cycle past schools, mosques and churches. Your journey takes you
to the nearby rice fields, where you’ll make a stop and if you wish can lend a
helping hand to the field workers. Afterwards you will have a better
understanding how much hard work goes into one sack of rice. Enriched with this
intense experience we visit a local family for lunch. Rice is one of the main
components of meals in Tanzania and you will have the chance to taste it at
their house in a traditional meal called Palau.
Get indulged by the hospitality of the local family while you sit at their
veranda and share a meal and thoughts about life with them. All fuelled, you
continue the bike ride through the Rau
Forest, a natural beauty just behind the city of Moshi. Watch out for
colobus monkeys in the tree crowns with their long fluffy tails. As you cycle
through this never-ending jungle, listen carefully to the animal sounds.
Our last stop of the day is at the old railway station, remains from the
German colonial time. You will feel like you are on 1900s film set and can
still sense the bustling energy this magical place used to have roughly hundred
years ago. With a little bit of luck, you have the best view on Kilimanjaro
while sipping a cold Kilimanjaro beer from the rail station bar, reflecting on
today’s incredible adventure. Our guide will take you back to your
accommodation, where you can stretch your legs and arms after a day on
Tanzania’s rough roads.
