Named Best Bike Tour in the 2026 USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, Colorado-based ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours wants you to discover the company’s first African adventure during the Beyond: Kilimanjaro to Ngorongoro Crater by e-bike expedition. For 13 days, participants will explore northern Tanzania, setting off from the foothills of legendary Mount Kilimanjaro.

“Our Beyond journey in Tanzania — our first trip in Africa — is designed to connect travelers to the land in a way that is active, immersive, and deeply grounded in place,” said Maria Elena Price, co-owner, ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours. “The itinerary offers an amazing combination of activities and experiences not seen in most cycling tours — traveling through Maasai lands and rural villages before swapping two wheels for 4×4 game drives in Tarangire National Park and the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater.”

Along the way, participants will cycle the border along Ndarakwai Conservancy and follow a path leading through the villages of Ngara Nairobi and Tinga Tinga; pass through the open grasslands of the Maasai while watching for towers of giraffe and dazzles of zebras; cross the Ngasurai Plain’s migratory elephant route; enjoy a game drive in Tarangire National Park, where Tanzania’s largest concentration of elephants reside; journey up the Great Rift Valley escarpment; and set off on another game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera.

Departures are planned for February and October 2027, with overnight lodging ranging from eco-lodges and tented accommodations to luxury hotels and picturesque cottages. Among the handpicked choices are Simba Farm Lodge, a working farm on 5,000 acres in West Kilimanjaro; Osiligi-Lai Masai Lodge, featuring authentic Maasai culture; Forest Hill Hotel luxury property in Arusha; Roika Tented Lodge near Tarangire National Park; and charming cottages at Bougainvillea Safari Lodge.
