However, it is more expensive, as the first night is spent camping in tents and the rest of the nights are spent in the Marangu route’s A-frame huts. The Kilema route with the first night at the Kilema camp option is shorter, less strenuous, and involves more mountain biking, compared to the Kilema route option with the first night at Mandara hut. The route from Kilema gate to Horombo hut is a 4 x 4 gravel road, which is usually in fair condition. The Kilema route is mainly used as an access road by vehicles to bring supplies to the Horombo hut and to evacuate medical emergencies from the Horombo hut. The Kilema Mountain bike trail runs parallel with the Marangu route. You’re guaranteed to be talking about this for a long time afterward. As a reward for reaching the summit, we have a compulsory souvenir photo in store for you as well as a nearly 5000m descent. There is more than enough time for this, as we will set off shortly after midnight. We need to save most of this for the day of the summit…when we will have a climb of 1200m. Riding them would theoretically be possible but it would use far too much energy. Our whole itinerary is geared towards one single day, that is to say, summit day.Ī lot of the time we will have to push the bikes. Whether you reach the summit depends almost exclusively upon one factor: Your acclimatization. Kilimanjaro Biking Tours is a special Kilimanjaro hiking Package where you will cycle up Kilimanjaro with two wheel.
