Tour Overview
The West Kilimanjaro plains are a region in northern Tanzania comprising of both Maasai community lands and Wildlife Management Areas. The region comprises of acacia woodland and open plains that support a remarkable variety of wildlife and spectacular views of Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru. The most common animals in the area include wildebeest, zebra, gazelles, impalas, giraffes and baboons. Depending on the time of year, elephants and zebras are a very common sight given the region lies along an elephant corridor linking Kenya’s Amboselis National Park, Arusha National Park and Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. This region is home to the nomadic Maasai herdsmen who co-exist with the surrounding wildlife hence the term Maasai land. Given the rich culture of the Maasai people and the variety of wildlife, a cycling tour in this area is ideal for those discerning travelers looking for an unforgettable off-the-beaten path adventure experience comprising of walking, photography, culture and scenery.

Day by Day Overview
Our ride today takes us through the Enduimet Wildlife Management Area which is one of Tanzania’s best kept secrets. Enduimet borders Amboseli National Park and serves as an important migratory route for wildlife including African elephants and other animals. This area is inhabited primarily by the Maasai people but there are large populations of other tribes such as the Chagga, Meru and Pare people. Your ride starts off on the wide open plains dotted with acacia trees but it gets greener as you approach the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro where a lot of cultivation takes place. Your cycling tour today ends at Sinya which is situated on Maasai homesteads and overlooking the West Kilimanjaro plains.
