5-Day Mount Kilimanjaro Mountain Biking Tour via Marangu to Uhuru Peak

• Connect with your tour guide and begin your journey to Marangu Gate for registration before transferring to Kilema Gate to start your Mount Kilimanjaro trek.

• Start the first 16 km route section accompanied by your mountain guide, who will also be riding a bike, from Kilema Gate to Horombo Hut.

Note: Altitude sickness is caused by ascending too quickly to high altitude, so there will be frequent stops along the way to give the body enough time to adjust to the higher elevations.
