Thank you George - I am an avid cyclist, so this was the most ideal way to see rural Kilimanjaro/Moshi. George was the most wonderful guide and was INCREDIBLY knowledgeable. He was extremely patient when I struggled up some of the hills, and he was really encouraging. I could not recommend this tour & George as a guide more!!

Fun way to explore Moshi & surroundings - a memorable day out! - An excellent way to orientate yourself around the Mt Kilimanjaro area cycling through Moshi centre and up into the coffee plantations & communities living there. We had loads of fun with George on the cycle tour and Charles with a tour through Moshi town. Both were knowledgeable and so friendly, eager to share their enthusiasm for their area and its rich history. Bikes were in good condition with different sizes available, company easy to contact, and packed lunch was extensive. All-in-all, a professional and personalised experience.
Quick note - the first half of the cycle is somewhat strenuous for anyone who doesn’t regularly cycle. Perfectly doable mind you, but be warned that some sweat & effort is involved.

Best First Day in Tanzania! - I had the absolute best first day in Tanzania thanks to Charles and George. I can’t recommend this enough. Nowhere else will you get such access into villages and insight into some of the hidden gems in the surrounding area. The bike tour was an excellent workout ahead of my Mt Kilimanjaro ascent! Beautiful views and rainforest ride when we went off road. The walking tour was exceptional. I had mentioned that I am a coffee addict so we were able to stop in a coffee factory to see them roasting beans and then stopped for the best coffee I’ve had in years at the Union Coffee cafe. Charles knew so much about the history of Tanzania and East Africa and was generous with his time and energy. We were also lucky since when we got to the rooftop of a hotel in Moshi the clouds parted and we could see the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro. Magical! Thank you for such a lovely first day.

Beautiful bike ride in the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro - I love that Charles and Leo incorporate a cultural component to each of their tours. Charles is a wealth of knowledge and a perfect guide, as we peddled the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Both he and Bella were really gracious and patient with me as I struggled on a few hills going up. They are locals and know the region well and their English is excellent. Charles has loads of experience as he used to lead trips for REI.
I’m so glad I did this lovely bike tour.

Amazing experience! - This was an amazing experience. From the bike ride with Said to the nice conversation with Charles. You will stop by a local school, visit a market, talk to farmers, try local banana beer, visit a church, try local fruits and have a drink or two at the rooftop terrace. I even had a quick nap under the tree 🤗. I learned a lot about the history of this beautiful country and it's people. Till we meet again, asante sana!!!

Best tour I have experienced in my life! - This trip is guided by Charles from “Safari by Leo” (it’s a family owned safari and cultural tour based (small but beautiful) company owned by Leo and Charles). Charles is book of knowledge. He explained us the history, culture of different tribes in Tanzania especially Chagga tribe who predominantly live
at the foothills of Kilimanjaro (by the way Charles himself from Chagga tribe :)).
Actual trip is only cycle tour around foothills. But Charles loves his country so much and he wanted to give us more experience about Tanzania and he has additionally done Moshi town guided tour and night life tour of Moshi. I am quite convinced he is not doing this culture tour for money. It’s his passion to show Tanzania to tourists and explain its history to world! I highly recommend this tour and other cultural tours organised by Charles (Safari by Leo) to all tourists visiting Tanzania!
