Crocodiles were introduced to Lake Chala in the 1930's. According to legend they were brought in by E.S. Grogan, a British explorer who became famous for walking from Cape Town to Cairo in 1898. The terrain is totally unsuitable for crocodiles to breed, there being no beaches or sandy areas to make their nests. In the early 1990s fishermen were angered that their nets were continually being destroyed, and therefore began a program to eradicate them. There are no longer any crocodiles left in Lake Chala and the lake is safe for swimming; however as everywhere in Africa it pays to be careful
We hit the road after breakfast, we leave the accommodation and ride heading south to the Pare Mountains riding along curved easy dirt road. After a Lunch break stop is when we will take a dirt road to the Trans boundary Lake Jipe then leave the lake and start heading up hills to Pare Mountains with a nice view of the small towns/villages down hills. To the Lodge we will be riding down hills along dirt roads with lots of sharp corners. This day it much of trial for the next day ride which is much of intense riding. The motel at Same has spectacular views of the South Pare Mountains and because of its location it is the ideal gateway to Mkomazi National Park, the South Pare Mountains and Shengena Forest.
Sandy, hilly trails and stony trails (190km - 7 hours) After breakfast we explore through the range of the eastern Pare Mountains where we will ride down to the southern ranges and will be no tarmac roads at all. The trail goes through virgin savannah up and about to Lake Kalimawe which is surrounded by rice plantations and small villages. The ride continues adjacent to the area of Mkomazi National Park on the slopes. After lunch break, we will start to explore the Usambara Mountains, small villages of Mnazi and Mlalo and palm forests. We are going to ride on the zigzag road up the Usambara Mountains at Mtae (Mambo village) over 2300m, which offers unique views over the region. This is a big day of riding and all of us will be tired at the end of this adventure and we will surely deserve a cold beer and a rest.
This is a unique opportunity to experience and explore the Tarangire and Manyara ecosystem. Maramboi Tented Camp offers permanent camp facilities and endless vistas of rolling golden grasslands and palm lined desert between Tarangire and Manyara Lake. A visit to the area is essential for anyone interested in evolution and the origins of Mankind and an explanation of the Rift Valley and Africaโs big picture. It is a complete semi-desert
275 km of loose gravels and last 50 km on Tarmac (8 hours) After breakfast we start riding on a dirt road across a semi-arid savannah inhabited by wildlife and Maasai peoples living together. This Tarangire - Manyara-eco system we are riding through is the migratory corridor of Tarangire wildlife. After lunch break, we will ride on the dirt road for about one hour before we reach a relaxing tarmac road which will take to the reserved accommodation for dinner and overnight.
Tarmac, hilly trails, loose gravels and sand (140km - 6 hours) After breakfast we are going to leave the camp, riding on rift valley escarpment towards the Hadza community. This is a rocky and hilly road where it passes through different altitude and vegetationโs down to Magara village which is adjacent to Lake Manyara National Park. We will break for our packed lunch and after we will leave the good view of the rift valley wall heading to Lake Eyasi to meet the Hadza community, hunters and gatherers in east and Southern Africa. We are going to hunt with them on their grounds. After hunting with them, we will ride to the camp where cold drinks and food will be awaiting us
This ride can be taken on hardcore route of Monduli or an easier route. We ride through rolling country with scrub and scattered thorn trees and we will see colourful Maasai herding their cows and goats. We may also see antelope and zebra, and if we are lucky perhaps a predator. We will ride on loose gravel and a little sand which is fun and later find a wellmaintained dirt road which leads us to Longido village where we meet tarmac and ride through tarmac to our destination of Arusha. We might be escaping into few trails; this will depend on time where we could reach Longido village. We will arrive Arusha early before evening where you will take shower and being transported to the airport if you have a flight to catch the same evening. If not, you will be taken to the reserved accommodation.
