Day 01
Bike Through Moshi Villages, Rice Fields, and Rau Forest
- Meet your tour guide at the agreed-upon location and begin the tour.
- Ride to the Majengo district of Moshi, the heartland of Moshi craft.
- Check out the dizzying array of local crafts and handmade goods artfully arranged along the roadside.
- Pass through the small farms and family houses of the Msaranga area, taking in the daily activities of schools, mosques, and churches as you ride by.
- Continue through fields of growing rice, one of Tanzania's staple foods. Here, you will have the opportunity to help local field workers and gain an appreciation of how much hard work goes into producing a sack of rice. Enjoy lunch hosted by a friendly local family, featuring pilau, a traditional rice-based Tanzanian meal.
- Ride through the Rau Forest, a jewel of protected tropical woodland alive with birdsong and the calls of animals.
- See the black-and-white faces of Columbus monkeys peering curiously at you as you pass beneath the shady canopy of the Rau Forest, then continue to your last stop at the old railway station.
- Sip a cold beer at the railway station bar and marvel at Kilimanjaro Mountain.
Tour ends.
