Arusha National Park Cycling Day Trip
OVERVIEW
Described by Sir Julian Huxley as “a gem amongst parks”, this park is Tanzania’s smallest but most beautiful park in the northern circuit. It consists of three spectacular features, the Momella Lakes, Mount Meru and the Ngurudoto Crater. A cycling tour in Arusha National Park is a fun and thrilling way to experience this magnificent park, which offers the opportunity to explore a beguiling diversity of habitats rich in wild life, within a few hours. This tour lets you explore beautiful areas of the park rarely visited while on safari hence giving you the ultimate wilderness experience.
Apart from the wildlife and scenery there is a wealth of history you will uncover from this tour including the history of the park and the early missionaries who used to live in this area. In order to ensure your complete safety and comfort, you will be accompanied with an armed ranger and support vehicle(s) throughout your tour. Whenever you get tired you can just hop off your bike and onto the support vehicle. Come explore one of Tanzania’s most beautiful parks with us.

DAY 1
Arusha National Park
You will be picked up at your hotel in Moshi/Arusha at 0800hrs and transferred to the Arusha National Park (Momella Gate) where our tour will begin. The route will take you through some of the dense forests in the park which are rarely visited while on a normal safari. More caution will be exercised since you are cycling through a national park so you will have an armed ranger in the support vehicles and the group will be advised to cycle close together for safety. There will be some challengeing bits with a few steep hills for the first part of the route but then it’s a gentle slope on the second part of the route. Along the sides of the roads, you will cycle past families of baboons and blue monkeys. After your cycling adventure you will enjoy a game drive in the park before being transferred back to your hotel in Moshi/Arusha.
