Cycle Around Mount Kilimanjaro

The Kilimanjaro 360 is a 7-day loop that takes you all the way around the base of Africa's highest peak. You'll cover 407km on a mix of red-dirt trails, rocky farm tracks, and a few stretches of tarmac — moving from the thick, wet forests of the Chagga people to the dry, open plains where the Maasai graze their cattle. Most people only see one side of Kilimanjaro as they hike to the top. This ride is different — you get to see the mountain grow and change every day as you pedal around it. Requires strong saddle endurance (5-8 hours a day for 7 days), comfort with red-dirt corrugations and loose gravel, and around 5,690m of total climbing including a push to 3,872m on the Shira Plateau.
