The cure for jet lag - We booked a bike tour with Bike2Kili to fill a free day before our Kilimanjaro climb, and it was an incredible experience. Our guide, Said Jama, was professional, patient, and handled several flat tires along the way with impressive efficiency. The tour began in Moshi and quickly transitioned from paved roads to rough dirt paths winding through rural neighborhoods, sugarcane, and rice fields. We appreciated the unique opportunity to explore the Tanzanian countryside up close. A neck buff is highly suggested as the roads can get dusty. One highlight was riding thru the Rau Conservation Forest, where the cool forest canopy provided a refreshing break. We spotted plenty of Blue monkeys and families of Colobus monkeys—a true treat for nature lovers. The tour concluded with a tasty local lunch at Shukran Cafe. Altogether, the experience lasted about five hours and was the perfect way to shake off jet lag while immersing ourselves in the local scenery and culture. We highly recommend Bike2Kili for anyone visiting Moshi!

Good Way to Explore Moshi - The 1-day Moshi Villages Bike Tour was a nice way to see the area. The route included some scenic views and a chance to visit local villages. The guide was helpful, and the lunch provided was very good. Overall, a good experience if you’re looking for something active to do in Moshi.

The nicest way to get to know the country and the people. - Fantastic route through residential and commercial areas, along wide fields with agricultural cultivation, past schools and railway lines into the forest past a 51m high tree back to Moshi. It gives you an interesting insight into the way of life here, in a beautiful natural setting.

Great trip through the countryside - This was a super trip! We saw rice fields, sugar cane, birds, monkeys, a 200 year old tree, the train station, multiple villages, and the busy Moshi market. The tour guide was fun to be with and was full of information. He is a bike mechanic so the bike was in perfect working order. Helmet was provided. Expect to cycle on gravel roads and paths. The finishing touch was lunch at a local restaurant serving African food. I would highly recommend this trip!

Great day out in rural Tanzania - Can’t add much to what has already been said about this tour. Would do it again and bring friends. Best for those with experience on mountain bikes because of road condition and single tract through the forest. Great way to get to know the area and see what life is like n rural Tanzania. Check bike condition before you start from the shop - brakes, gears, seat. We found a problem with one of our bikes but it was quickly changed out for another bike. That is Africa!

highly recommended - Very nice way to get acquainted with surroundings, you pass isolated villages, via rice fields and sugarcane plantations with the mt. Kilimanjaro always in his sights to finish via a beautiful piece of forest back to Moshi.

A rid to remember - Alpha was a fantastic guide with an impressive amount of knowledge on the area and the people. The entire day was more than I expected and we had a blast going through the villages, farmland and the forests. The latter being absolutely extraordinary. You end with a trip through the train station, then the Moshi market and finally a well deserved lunch which absolutely hits the spot. If you have a day before or after Kili, I would recommend this trip!

Interesting but could be shorter. - The tour takes place on mountain bikes. Both bikes had faults with the gears not changing to the big chain ring. The ride is mostly flat so it wasn't an issue, luckily. The tour quickly leaves town and enters the countryside through villages. After an hour or so it's all a bit same same. The roads become very bumpy. Some good scenery along rivers and through cane fields and rice plantations. We asked to return early and spent three hours riding through the lowlands, which was more than enough.
