TOUR OVERVIEW
The Bike trek is one of our product of trekking the Kilimanjaro Mountain, Kilema route is the only route that Bike trek to Kilimanjaro Mountain can reach to the top of the Mount Kilimanjaro by mountain bike. With our experienced guides the whole trip to summit Mt Kilimanjaro 5895M, took 5 or 6 days with proper acclimatization. In comparison to other Routes, it has no stones and gravel in its path that is making it easy to cycle smoothly while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Mount Kilimanjaro.
This activity provides physical exercise and recreational use of the natural environment with minimum impact while enhancing visitors’ experience. Summit bound visitors will use Kilema route (19km) and cyclists will meet their porters at Horombo Hut and continue to the summit.
Guests are supplied with mattresses and pillows, but sleeping bags are still required. The huts have communal dining halls, basic washrooms and toilet. The short time frame of the route makes altitude acclimatization fairly difficult. The route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the southeast. It is one of crowded route for that reason
The main itinerary difference between the 5-days and 6-day bike trek (RIDE UP - RIDE DOWN) via Marangu route is the additional acclimatization day at Horombo on day three
