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.

- Arusha National Park Cycling Day Trip Itinerary
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.

EXCELLENTBased on 196 reviewsPosted onChantal WVerified Biking the sugarcane fields Lovely bike ride through the sugarcane fields with fantastic guides. Great lunch at the TCP plantation and some stops in the colorful town of Moshi. We enjoyed every minute of our excursion.Posted onVirginia PVerified Amazing experience The tour combined Safari and visit to a Maasai tribe, a coffee plantation and the waterfalls. We added the balloon and it was so worth it! Our guides Joseph Gamma and Derick Richard did an AMAZING job at making our experience unforgettable. Thanks to them we were able to spot animals from super close, learned all the fun facts about them and understand Tanzania from the perspective of the locals, always feeling safe and well taken care of. Thanks to them , I want to return to Africa!Posted onmarcelalopheVerified Amazing Safari in Tanzania! Our safari in Tanzania with Ashante Tours was truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, we were welcomed with such warmth and kindness that we immediately felt at home. The guides Joseph Gamma and Derick Richard were exceptional, knowledgeable, passionate, and always eager to share insights about the wildlife and surroundings, which made every moment even more meaningful. We were incredibly fortunate to see all the animals we had hoped for and even more, turning every day into a new adventure. The entire experience was seamless, exciting, and deeply enriching. We are so grateful for the care, professionalism, and genuine hospitality we received. It was, without a doubt, an amazing experience that we will cherish forever. Recomended a 100 % . Thank you ASHANTE TOURS !Posted onMark BVerified Ahsante Tours Kilimanjaro Climb My son and I have just completed the Lemosho 8 Day climb of Kilimanjaro with Ahsante Tours. We had an amazing adventure, led by our superb guides Lawrence and Amos. So helpful and encouraging, with Lawrence also proving to be an excellent language, geography and history teacher! Despite catching the start of the rainy season, we only had to get our wet weather gear out on 3 of the 8 days. The whole crew were friendly, and definitely contributed to our effort. The porters do a super human effort. We arranged for the portable toilet - essential in our view as your guts are not normal on the climb, and the long drop toilets at the campsites are a no go zone. Summit success after 6 hours of climbing at a pole pole, slowly slowly, pace. No one told us about the agony of getting back down the mountain. Legs and toes extremely sore! We thoroughly recommend Ahsante Tours as a mid budget, local tour company. Our guides had been with the company for 15 and 10 years, which says a lot. Holyfield did an awesome job as the tour organiser, right from the start when we had to postpone our climb for 12 months. Asante sana Ahsante Tours! Tutaonana Baadaye!Posted onm2threeVerified *Highly Recommend* Everyone of the team are amazing and play their part in making a memorable trip. Easy to recommend when things go well, sadly bad health meant it didn’t go to plan for me - this is when I saw the very best of the team. Caring, helpful and organised, everything I needed a more.Posted onshelley KVerified A fantastic bespoke safari tour I can highly recommend Ashante Tours. Holyfield arranged a bespoke safari tour for us which surpassed our expectations. The variety of parks and animals we saw was breathtaking. Lovely lodges and an excellent guide to accompany us made the whole experience smooth and relaxing. Thank you Ashante ToursPosted onM MVerified Big recommendation! Had an amazing experience with Ahsante Tours to Kilimanjaro! The trip was Well planned, we had good guidance before and during the trip. Our guides and crew were amazing, and made sure that we had an unforgettable experience. We were lucky enough to have good weather, and when my husband and I suggested that we might head for the top in daytime, our guides were flexible and we changed the plan, and ended up making the summit as the only ones there. A big thanks to Ahsante tours, super professional overall and also a local based company. I would 10/10 recommend.Posted onVictoria SVerified *****AWESOME***** – Kilimanjaro climb with safari add-on I had the best holiday hiking up Kilimanjaro with Ahsante (booked through Explore) this Christmas, followed by a three day safari to relax at the end. It was an incredible trip; the mountain was tough but truly awe inspiring. The brilliant Ahsante crew made it so enjoyable and helped our group of eight (aged 17 to 58) reach the summit together. Thank you so much — I wasn’t sure my not so fit 53 year old legs would make it! We walked the Lemosho route, which was well paced to ensure good acclimatisation for the summit. I really needed this, as there were times when I felt the headaches, and I did take altitude pills for summit day. The route takes you through different climate zones, so your whole world can change in a day. With altitude, the mountain becomes increasingly bare, losing the lush green of the lower slopes and revealing what was once molten rock deep inside the planet — and that’s before you even reach the glaciers! The crew were AMAZING and managed the serious task of getting us up the mountain safely, all with smiles and humour. The guides — Brian, Patrick, and Rasta — were so professional and lovely, keeping a steady pace and watchful attention so you were helped and guided before you could put a foot wrong. Emmanuel’s camp logistics were impressive, and he always greeted us with the warmest, most generous welcome. Juventus ensured we were served a feast every meal, complete with a flourish and an impressive costume. The wider crew were so friendly and kind; I’m still amazed at how they packed up and moved the whole camp to have it ready for our arrival, no matter how long or short the day’s walk was. These wonderful people were led by Julius — “Whitey” — White who was unflappable, knowledgeable, and mischievous. He ensured everything went smoothly, we were always prepared & confident for the next day and smiling. Thank you for the laughs and chats, your energy and patience, the Swahili lessons and stretching sessions, catching me more than once from slipping over, the singing and dancing, the help with bags and boots after a long day, and all the hard work that made this such a joyful experience. Massive respect to everyone who was with us. And that wasn’t all. After farewells and a quick turnaround of bags, Godwin picked us up and took us to three parks for safari. He always knew where to go and when, so we could see elephants, lions, hippos, rhinos, and so much more across stunning landscapes. His driving was excellent — even while fielding constant “What’s that?” questions whenever we entered a park. I might have to come back to climb one of the other routes!Posted onGavin SVerified 10 (days) of the best. We completed the Lemosho Kilimanjaro climb with the 3 day safari bolt on option. The tour was really well organised and the guides were professional, friendly and experts making us feel safe and valued throughout. Kilimanjaro - Julius the chief guide is a leader in his field so we felt lucky to have him in charge but all the other guides were exceptional support. Big shout out to Bryan on his first trip as a guide bringing contagious enthusiasm to help us through any tough moments plus his legendary morning stretches to get us limbered up daily. Emmanuelle the camp manager also deserves a mention as the camp was always ready and immaculate regardless of conditions. Everyone from porters to waiters were exceptional in their work and operated as a machine but a friendly welcoming one! The route was perfect as it allowed all 8 of our group to summit! The physical challenge is suitable for most with a basic fitness level but the real challenge is the mental one particularly on summit night, which I can only describe as a war of attrition. Safari- Excellent tonic post climb. Godwin our guide was top draw really friendly and super knowledgeable regards the Parks and animals. Managed to see 4 of the big 5 with his help! Just missed out on the leopard which seems fairly usual. For value for money this trip is hard to match but remember to bring plenty of dollars for tipping and-read the guidelines for guidance on values. All in all highly recommended Ahsante and this one of the best trips I’ve ever had!Posted onBenoit BVerified Incroyable et inoubliable De l’ascension du Kilimandjaro à l’immersion dans une ferme près du lac jipe C’était une expérience humaine incroyable Merci à mes 2 guides José et Mika de l’agence Ashante tours
