CYCLING FITNESS You should be physically fit and mentally prepared for this amazing adventure. If you are not well trained you have the option of hopping into the support vehicle. e-mountain bikes are welcome.

TRAIL TERRAIN is generally smooth along rolling roads and trails. Thorns abound so tubeless tires filled with an extra dose of sealant is essential (Stan's is best).

Bike box service - Empty bike box & extra luggage bag will be transferred from Lake Jipe directly to Chale Island (no access).

BIKE INSURANCE

It is your responsibility to obtain sufficient insurance for your bike against any loss or damage during the event and during transport.

Summiting Kilimanjaro requires 6 days of trekking, it does not require any technical skills. Good physical fitness with strong mental fortitude is all that is required to reach the summit.

Average mountain bike skills are sufficient from the Summit to Sea, the route follows bush roads and tracks that are without technical difficulty. From the Summit our capable porters will assist (as necessary) down the steepest sections of scree. Once off the mountain vehicle support will assist anybody that encounters difficulties while cycling.

We regard adequate travel and medical insurance as essential. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is adequate for your particular needs and we do not accept any responsibility if your cover is inadequate.
