Please follow the list below to ensure your comfort. You will have a better vacation if you are prepared. The items you will want to pack no matter what time of year are warm clothes for cooler evenings, good rain gear that you can ride in, and sunscreen. Avoid cotton clothing while riding. To stay comfortable, layering different weights of polypropylene, fleece, or wool works well. We love our Ibex wool clothing for the wide range of temperatures you are comfortable in.
Items to bring no matter what tour you are on
The lack of shade makes sun protection more important!
Higher elevations can mean cold temperatures so plenty of layers are important for riding and in camp
If you are bringing your own bike it should be tuned and in good working condition before the start of the tour. We strongly recommend you have your bike checked out by a reputable bike shop prior to departure. Have your bike tuned up and any worn-out parts replaced. A mountain bike of good quality and in good operating condition is essential. Our guides carry tools and a supply of spare parts suitable for use on most bikes. If your bike has special features or specifications, then you must supply your own parts and tools.
We carry a spare bike on most tours to provide replacement parts but we cannot guarantee that what we have will be compatible with your bike.
You may ship your bike ahead of time to Kili Bike Adventures. Please make these arrangements with our office before you arrive.
Kili Bike Adventures can also do the tune-up. Our assembly fee is free if we disassemble and box it up at the end of the trip as well. The shipping fees will be your responsibility.
