Mountain Biking

The rugged topography of Tanzania sets it up well for challenging and rewarding riding. Most mountain biking trips are run in the north of Tanzania, in the area around the Kilimanjaro National Park and the Rift Valley Escarpment.
All but one of Tanzania’s national parks do not permit mountain bikers for safety reasons – fast moving bikes and startled large animals don’t mix well! The one exception to this is Lake Manyara National Park in the north. Check out the tree-climbing lions, incredible bird-life and beautiful scenery from the comfort of your saddle, in this compact game-viewing park.
There are also a few mountain bike races held in Tanzania annually, and they are not for the feint-hearted; here locals and foreigners compete side-by-side. One race runs part way up Mount Meru and the other is a team event that blitzes through the Rift Valley.
