After breakfast, you will be transferred to Machame gate, which is the starting point of our cycling trip.

As we are heading west, we will find ourselves on a windy part of the mountain with more open-air plains, and acacia woodlands. This is the land of Maasai people, where we will be able to experience the differences among different tribes and their cultures in Tanzania. We will pass by Ngabobo and Tinga Tinga village and drive on the border of the National park, crossing the paths and native lands of different animals.
