Our first phase of today’s route takes us through the vast savannah land of the Maasai on dirt roads. Notice the iconic red and blue dressing style of the Maasai as we cycle past huts and daily livelihood. The ride continues into the farmlands of West Kilimanjaro as we approach Chagga land. Here the households change from huts to concrete surrounded by traditional gardens. Bananas were once the most common crop of the Chagga, and though they still grow these, they now grow coffee as well. Our ride ends up in a beautiful dhow-wood themed lodge surrounded by coffee plantation with a background of the mighty Kilimanjaro.
