These plains are home to diverse wildlife and offer stunning views of Mt. Kilimanjaro. While Moshi is inhabited by the Chagga people, the western Kilimanjaro plains are home to the nomadic Maasai, who live harmoniously with the local wildlife, earning the area the name Maasai Lands.

The day ends at the Roika Tented Lodge, offering a refreshing swimming pool to cool off after a long, hot day of cycling.
