Serengeti to Sea Bike Tour

Tanzania has long been known as a must do safari destination thanks to its famous game parks, such as the Serengeti National Park and also for Mt Kilimanjaro, the tallest peak on the African continent. But there is much more to Tanzania than going on safari and Pedalers’ exclusive Serengeti to the Sea route will open doors to the rest of Tanzania’s wonders, its people, landscapes, culture and way of life.

Our 11 day adventure begins in the traditional manner, with a welcoming night at a traditional tented safari camp, where we unwind from the flights under canvas the the open Tanzanian skies. The first couple of days are without our bikes, as safety prohibits cycling inside most wildlife parks, so we embark one two days of game drives, first in Serengeti National Park, then in Ngorongoro Crater Conservation area. While we don’t guarantee that you will see the "Big Five", we will enjoy seeing a wide range of the wildlife of Africa. After game viewing we will head outside the parks to Arusha town to start the cycling leg.

Our cycling leg first heads through the land of the Maasai, nomadic cattle herders. Here we will not only see their villages along the route, but we bed down in a village one evening enjoying native dance and a BBQ. Cycling through the high savanna with Mt Meru and Mt Kilimanjaro looming above us, we start working our way east towards the coast, enjoying several days wending through the mountains of Tanzania. Once reaching the coast, our rides are along tiny dirt roads winding through the parks and historic seaport trading towns, some of which date back to 600 BC. The journey winds down in historic Bagamoyo, the launching point for many early European expeditions to explore the mysterious dark continent, including the fabled journeys of Livingstone and Stanley.
