Experience the thrill of exploring Arusha National Park on two wheels. This guided mountain biking safari combines the excitement of an outdoor adventure with the breathtaking beauty and wildlife of northern Tanzania.
Your day begins with a short game drive through the park en route to the Mbega cycling trail, where your biking journey starts. Accompanied by an armed park ranger, you’ll cycle through diverse landscapes and habitats, with opportunities to spot buffalo, giraffes, black-and-white colobus monkeys, and a variety of colorful bird species.
The cycling route takes you along gravel roads and winding animal tracks. Depending on the season, the trails may get muddy, adding to the adventure. Expect a mix of steep climbs and thrilling descents, making it both a challenge and a rewarding experience for active travelers.
This activity is perfect for adventure seekers who want to enjoy wildlife viewing in a unique and eco-friendly way, away from the traditional safari vehicle.
