Masai & Hot Springs 1 Day Cycling Tour
Tour Overview
Working with our friends in the Maasai community, you’ll experience the true culture behind this respected community. Your translator and guide will introduce you to how the Maasai live and the history of this group in East Africa. Combine this option with a tour of the region, including hot springs in the area.
Itinerary
We start our epic ride early in the morning and are accompanied by our English-speaking guide. The road takes us through beautiful landscapes: African bushland where we see dried-up river beds, baobab and acacia trees and sugar cane plantations.
Once we arrive in the village, please remember to be a respectful guest and don‘t take pictures of the villagers without asking. During the visit, you will have a chance to mingle with the Maasai and chat with them, but your social skills and creativity will determine how much they open up to you. Your English-speaking guide will assist you and translate into Kimaasai, as the Maasai themselves do not speak any other languages.
Whilst you walk through the village with your guide, you will learn more about the culture of the Maasai. This will include a lesson on traditional Maasai medicine and the opportunity to taste the local Maasai tea. We will also have the opportunity to visit a Maasai home.
In the early afternoon, we will leave the village and continue to Hot Springs, which are near the village of Rundugai. The Hot Springs are certainly one of the most beautiful places in Tanzania – the hot springs are surrounded by fig and palm trees and winding roots – a real hidden paradise. The crystal clear, turquoise waters invite you for a refreshing swim. Although called a hot spring, water in Hot springs is not hot, but rather refreshing since the water source is from Kilimanjaro Mountain itself.
After enjoying a swim, we will have lunch. Once we have relaxed fully, we will return to Moshi in the late afternoon.
