Adventure riding in the Usambara Mountains, Tanzania
This road in the Usambara Mountains of eastern Tanzania descends from Mtae to Langoni down a steep, rocky, rutted and hairpinned 4WD trail for about 8 miles aka 15 km. Our route went from Mombo to Soni to Lukozi and on to Manolo, Tema, Mtae, Langoni, Mkundi Mbaru and then Mkomazi, reconnecting with tar.
This area is an amazing adv motorbike destination thru a network of dirt roads and dozens of farming communities. One caution to would-be riders, the descent from Mtae to Langoni is steep, so descent skills on a heavy bike are advisable. Then again, I don't have much experience or skill with a fully loaded adv bike on steep rocky descents and made it OK. Overall roads in the Usambaras are awesome fun ;)

Usambara Mountans, Tanzania - The Balloon Frenzy
Later that afternoon, we arrived at a small village and were greeted whole-heartedly. This was where the women's pottery group resided. Here, the art of making clay pots has been a tradition for many generations and has created a sustainable income for the women of this village. One of the girls was given a hands-on demonstration much to the local children's delight! They wanted to touch her blond hair and sit as near to her as possible. I then began, unwittingly, what has become to be known as the balloon frenzy. Our families had brought some balloons over to share with the children. As soon as I blew one up and let it go there was a madness that came over like nothing I had ever seen before! Squeals of laughter and excitement, such a small thing brought so much pleasure.

Cycling from tanga to magoroto estate
Mean while once i returned back home in tanga with my new touring bycicle. Was surfing from page to page in google searching for a place to do hikking and suddenly the estate name of magoroto forest showed up and started calling me for a great get-away where u can find different activities in one place. The most thing that grabbed my attention was hiking. I was like olaaa thats in tanga, started packing my stuff and started paddling toward magoroto forest which it was around 68 away from tanga.
On the way had lots of fruits as a breakfast. Once i reached magoroto forest its was insane. the location, whether, hospitality, view and the activities was all meeting in one incredible point which made stay two nights instead of one. Its the perfect getaway from the city crowd towards mother nature.
On the arrival day went for cycling through a village nearby and then hiked up between the locals houses till reached to a great simple view point. Once i returned was looking forward to do the longest trail that they got which was mringa summit hike which its considered to be the highest summit in western usambara mountain. Earlier in the morning started the breathtaking walk into the forest. We had to chop the trees on our way due to the previous months was raining season and no was passed by this trail for around 4 months. Oleeeee, it feels great chopping the path all the way to the summit ????✌????️, it was a special hike too bcs it was my first time to hike through a muddy track. Total of 12km been covered in approximately 4hrs. Once i returned back had plenty of mango at the village after that had a quick deep shower and joined other group for a short hike before sunset. The short hike was awesome had a great chat along the hike.
Once i finished the long hike decided to add one more night at the forest. The weather it night was cold without any mosquitos running over their and here which makes magoroto the perfect spot for camping and an ideal place to chill and watch the stars. Early in the morning the view is soo perfecto over a lake full of fog and plenty of palm tree around it.
I reached to the end of typing and their is more to write but on a long trip towards my next destination ????✌????️ all the best and don't forget to add on instagram for more cycling trip updates
