Option 1 Cycling Journey to Kikuletwa Hotspring | 47 Km

In the morning, we'll collect you from your hotel for a lengthy ride to the Chemka Hot Springs. Brace yourself for a bumpy and winding road! Amidst the journey, take in the enchanting scenery and observe authentic Tanzanian life unfolding along the way.

Upon arrival, the choice is yours. Delight in a moment at the springs, absorbing the serene blue waters and the vibrant greenery of the surrounding forest. Opt for a leisurely swim (bearing in mind that the water isn't exactly warm, so no Olympic sprint sensations) or float in a tranquil world, accompanied by the soothing sounds of water and birds overhead. The water source, originating from Mount Kilimanjaro itself, adds a refreshing touch. For those seeking a bit of adventure, why not indulge in some fun on the rope swing? After all, playtime isn't exclusive to kids!

While the pond can reach depths of up to 8 meters in some areas, its crystal-clear waters allow you to see straight to the bottom. Enjoy your lunch beneath the shade of trees or discover your own secluded spot. There's ample time to spot the wildlife that also frequents the Chemka Hot Springs.

Option 2 Cycling to Materuni Waterfalls + Coffee Tour | 25 Km

Unveiling Kilimanjaro's Hidden Gem. This remarkable cycling excursion explores the captivating series of waterfalls gracing the lower slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Dedicate a day to exploring the Materuni waterfalls. Take a refreshing dip in the water following an exhilarating ride and relish the downhill journey back to the starting point. Enhance your experience by pairing it with a coffee tour for a truly memorable day out!

Route: Off-road & paved road Notable Features: Hiking to the waterfalls, Swimming, Coffee experience, and Interaction with the Chagga people

Commencing at 9:00 AM, we'll embark on a ride to the slopes of Kilimanjaro, reaching the village of Materuni at an elevation of approximately 1,600 meters above sea level. This verdant rainforest area is renowned for cultivating some of East Africa's finest coffee. Begin the day with a visit to a small coffee farm, gaining insights into the local cultivation, harvesting, and processing methods. Roll up your sleeves and try your hand at processing, roasting, and preparing a fresh cup of coffee in the authentic Chagga manner. As you savor your coffee break, delve into the history of the Chagga people.

Following lunch, we'll embark on a hike to the picturesque Materuni waterfalls, offering an opportunity for a refreshing swim. Along the way, relish views of Mount Kilimanjaro and indulge in a taste of a Chagga local brew known as Banana Beer.

Option 3 Cycling to Shira Plateau | 47km

Embark on our bike tour commencing from Morumu camp, traversing the route to Shira. This adventure offers ample opportunities to connect with fellow Mount Kilimanjaro climbers on the Shira route. As you cycle through the forest zone, be on the lookout for primates, while larger game animals may grace the heath and moorland zone. On clear days, savor breathtaking views of Kibo peak en route to the helipad.

• Highlights: Breathtaking scenery, Cycling to Mt Kilimanjaro, Wildlife sightings • Total Distance: 47km • Path: Off-road / dirt road

At 7:00 AM, you'll be transported from your hotel in Moshi to the Londorossi Gate on the western side of Mt. Kilimanjaro, marking the start of your tour. Traverse the forest zone, followed by the heather and moorland zone, cycling towards the Shira Plateau helipad. Enjoy a rewarding downhill ride back to Londorossi Gate, concluding your tour. Subsequently, you'll be picked up and transferred back to your hotel in Moshi.

Option 4 Cycling from Moshi to Lake Chala | 50km

Commencing at 8:00 AM, embark on a bicycle journey to Lake Challa Safari Camp, equipped with a packed lunch box and drinking water. Upon arrival, marvel at the scenic private game reserve that offers stunning views of the crater lake. Accompanied by our guide, descend to the lake where you can spend the day engaging in activities such as swimming, exploration, and kayaking.

Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the lush green scenery and landscapes, seizing the opportunity to observe local people engaged in their daily activities. The chances are high for spotting wildlife such as baboon monkeys, velvet monkeys, blue monkeys, and various bird species thriving in this remarkable savannah terrain. To enhance your experience, a bar is available, offering both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and a restaurant serving a variety of snacks and main meals.

Option 5 Cycling from Moshi to TPC | 21km

Commencing at 9:00 AM, our bike ride sets off from Moshi town. Pedal your way southward through the picturesque sugar cane fields, heading towards TPC Club, where your cycling tour concludes.

Serengeti safari without the rush It was a 7 day family safari with us and our 2 adult children. We all had a fantastic time helped by Alpha and Josephete being excellent driver and guides. They seemed to be able to predict where animals were heading and be there. Rather than using the radio and following the crowd, we took it slow and saw so many more animals and birds that we would have otherwise missed. We stopped for a bird, saw several others, then realised we were right next to 6 dik diks that were almost invisible in the scrub. We saw 2 crossing events and other unexpected interactions like an elephant chasing off 3 lions and elephant baby’s cavorting and playing with each other. We saw a serval cat and followed it for a while then saw it pounce and catch dinner. Circle of life in action. The daughters got right into bird spotting and both the guides were very knowledgeable and helpful and quick with identifying, while not being worried to contradict and make suggestions. Both of them were conscientious and sensitive to our needs on the whole safari and we had a wonderful time. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a great safari experience.

Expertise and care by a true professional. We had an incredible family trip to Marangu waterfalls and a safari in Tarangire National Park, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Alpha. From the very beginning, Alpha took the time to understand what we wanted from our trip. Rather than pushing a particular itinerary, he gave us all the information we needed, explained our options, and helped us choose what would work best for our family and the time we had. Throughout the trip, he embodied the warmth, kindness, and hospitality of the Tanzanian people. His knowledge of the wildlife, culture, plants and local area made every part of the journey more meaningful. He is Masai after all!). He welcomed our endless questions, never rushed us, and always made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy each stop and capture great photos from the best locations. On safari, Alpha and his team were exceptional. Their ability to spot wildlife was incredible- they noticed animals we would never have seen on our own. They thoughtfully chose different routes to avoid the crowds, giving us better viewing opportunities and a much more authentic experience. Thanks to their expertise, we saw an amazing variety of wildlife and had far lots of great sightings. What impressed us most was that their care extended beyond the tour itself. When we experienced a hotel mishap, Alpha stepped in to help, even though it wasn’t his responsibility. That level of genuine care says a great deal about the kind of person he is. His entire team was equally friendly, professional, and dedicated to making our experience special. Together they made our visit to Tanzania truly unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend Alpha to anyone visiting Tanzania. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, genuinely caring, and passionate about sharing his country, look no further. We will definitely be back, and when we do, Alpha will be our first call

An unforgettable Kilimanjaro trip We chose Oserok Trips for our 7-day hike in Kilimanjaro. We wanted to do this adventure with a local company and we were not disappointed. The guides from Oserok, Francis and Daniel, were great as was the rest of the team who had a great time with us. I remember only fond memories of this experience with a small professional team that put us in a family atmosphere during this incredible week. Asante sana kaka!

Had a great day Together with my daughter we did trips and tour to the waterfall with Alpha van Oserok, with lunch at a Chagga tribe and with a coffee ceremony. Alpha picked us up at our hotel and together we walked to the waterfall. Along the way he explained a lot about all the plants, trees and animals that could be seen there. He is a relaxed and extremely experienced guide and we had a great day.

Trip of a lifetime! Thank you Alfa!! We cannot say enough about our incredible Tanzania adventure safari!! Alfa curated an 8-day safari to include a first day visit to the hot springs and local eatery, then 6 days on safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Mayanara, and a visit with a bush tribe and an iron working tribe. The lodgings and food were lovely and the weather was perfect! It was an amazing cultural experience for our family as well as a stunning photo safari in this lovely country. We saw the Big 5 in close proximity and countless other animals. Alfa and his driver Renatos were knowledgeable, attentive, engaging and professional….they made the trip extra special and we are extremely grateful for the memories we made. Asante sana!

This place is not very touristy yet, but we went to it thanks to the agency that knows unknown places We also did our tour to Lake Chala with the Oseroktrips agency and our guide was Alfa. I was amazed by this walk full of incredible views. We always walked at our own pace and always felt safe. Beautiful views and wonderful memories will live in our hearts
