Really liked this trip, recommend to do it when you’re in Moshi. We really liked the combination of cycling, seeing nature and seeing how the Chagga tribe live. Also the bike was of a good quality, there was an option to choose an electric bike. Also good coffee. Would really recommend his!
Excellent bike adventure with Dennis as a guide. He was so lovely and fun to spend the day with. He was also very knowledgeable about thr region and Tanzania as a whole. I learned a lot and had an amazing time biking around. One Bike was professional and responsive. Fantastic communication and service. I highly recommend this day trip.
INCREDIBLE! recommend it to everyone absolute must have to do in this area! Lovely guide, lovely tour, lovely dinner, unforgettable experience
We did the Chagga Village trip, and it was such a nice trip. A bit hard the first half, as you go upwards in the warm weather, but you are surrounded with beautiful nature. The lunch in Kibosho Village was very tasty, and the ride back down to Moshi was a lot of fun! The bikes and helmets are modern. Our guide Roger was patient, fun, he had local knowledge and took good care of us. I would recomend OneBike to everyone who wants to see more of Moshi!
I went on a day trip on 2/2/25. It was a worthwhile tour and an interesting route with a fairly tough climb to 1200m. I really support this great project and all cyclists should take a day out to do this! it's well worth the $99 and the modern bikes are decent too!
Thanks for the awesome review! We’re glad you enjoyed the ride and the challenge up to 1200m. Your support means a lot—this project is powered by cyclists like you!
Very nice experience with a guide (Victor) that made me feel safe. The tour was marked moderate, but with almost 700m elevation in 15 km quite challenging, but we made it. I highly recommend this tour
