Travel at the pace of Africa on this 16 day mountain bike adventure,
Experience the culture, wildlife and landscapes
of an amazing continent.
Escape Adventures is a small personal travel company with a passion for getting out and exploring new and exciting destinations around the world. Most people believe that the only way to see Africa is by vehicle. We know from experience that after a couple of days biking with us you will realise that this is the only way to truly appreciate this magnificent continent.
On our 16 day Tanzanian biking adventure we travel from Arusha, East Africa’s safari capital to Dar es Salaam on the Indian Ocean coast; or the reverse journey (see itineraries below). Biking far from busy roads and main tourist routes you will experience a different face of Africa - local villages and traditional tribesmen, breathtaking scenery and wildlife grazing on the plains. We travel through open savannah, desert, mountain rainforest and tropical coastline. We follow the foothills of Mt Kilimanjaro with its snow-covered peaks and camp in the wilderness under a cloudless African sky.
We take a break from our bikes to walk in Arusha National Park and on the lower slopes of Mt Kilimanjaro, take a game drive in Ngorongoro Crater, which hosts the largest concentration of plains game anywhere in the world and gives you the wildlife experience that East Africa is famous for. Enjoy a day hike and visit a local school in the unspoilt Usambara Mountains. Biking through the Usambara Mountains and down to the tropical coastal forest and villages brings us finally to Dar es Salaam, “Haven of Peace”.
We regret that we will not be including Kenya in our biking adventure this year - 2008 due to the current ‘unrest’. As we have many colleagues, friends and family in Kenya who need our support now more than ever we will be fund raising throughout the year to assist the many people who have been displaced from their homes. If you would like to make a donation please contact us. We plan to return to our normal Kenya and Tanzania itinerary in 2009.
Some people choose to extend their trip and follow with a trek of Mt Kilimanjaro or experience the culture and buzz of Zanzibar Island. Either of which we can help you to arrange.
