Mountain bike through beautiful regions
There are thousands of miles of single track routes to explore in Tanzania – biking tours do not get any better. Most routes offer smooth and easy riding but there are also more challenging areas for the more adventurous. Our Biking Safari activities are designed to give you both unique wildlife experiences and immerse you in local culture.
Arusha & Manyara Mountain Biking
Our Biking Safaris in Arusha run from both Arusha Serena Hotel & Rivertrees Country Inn. Manyara Biking Safaris are run from our activities office in Mto Wa Mbu.

You can extend this to a 3-hour ride experiencing the village but then cycle to the lake shore where there are stunning vistas of the lake, the Rift Valley Wall and small herds of wildlife. The ride is on fairly flat single tracks outside of the National Park. Ideal to do on the way in or out of Manyara National Park. 8yrs+ Price includes WMA fee.
Manyara: Mountain biking to the Southern Park gate
Approach Manyara National Park in a different way and explore routes from the Magara Waterfalls through quiet villages and up to the southern park gate where you can once again meet up with your guide as you then enter the park. This activity works very well before a stay at Wayo Manyara Green Camp.
