2. Bicycle hire is included in your trip price. Please advise your height at time of booking so as we can organize a suitable sized bike.
3. Bike helmets are compulsory on this trip. We are unable to hire bike helmets locally so please ensure you bring your own bike helmet from home.
4. On this trip we have a single leader that rides with the group, and another that drives the support vehicle (acting as a back marker where needed). Where the vehicle cannot travel directly with the cyclists (e.g., a cyclists-only path) your leader will assign a person from the group to act as a back marker.
5. Feb 2020 - Due to heavy rainfalls making the mountain hiking trails far more technical than usual we have suspended climbing Mt Ol Doinyo Lengai. We will assess the situation on a trip-by-trip basis but please be aware you may not be able to climb the mountain.<\/div><\/p>","age_average":30,"images":[{"original":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/tour\/437\/8802799812638-6.jpg","index":0,"size_1_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/640x450\/tour\/437\/8802799812638-6.webp","size_2_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/437\/8802799812638-6.webp","size_2_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/437\/8802799812638-6.jpg","size_3_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1080x450\/tour\/437\/8802799812638-6.webp","size_4_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/437\/8802799812638-6.webp","size_4_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/437\/8802799812638-6.jpg","size_5_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1440x900\/tour\/437\/8802799812638-6.webp","size_6_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/437\/8802799812638-6.webp","size_6_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/437\/8802799812638-6.jpg"},{"original":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/tour\/437\/8803040100382-3.jpg","index":1,"size_1_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/640x450\/tour\/437\/8803040100382-3.webp","size_2_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/437\/8803040100382-3.webp","size_2_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/437\/8803040100382-3.jpg","size_3_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1080x450\/tour\/437\/8803040100382-3.webp","size_4_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/437\/8803040100382-3.webp","size_4_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/437\/8803040100382-3.jpg","size_5_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1440x900\/tour\/437\/8803040100382-3.webp","size_6_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/437\/8803040100382-3.webp","size_6_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/437\/8803040100382-3.jpg"},{"original":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/tour\/437\/8802800861214-3.jpg","index":2,"size_1_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/640x450\/tour\/437\/8802800861214-3.webp","size_2_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/437\/8802800861214-3.webp","size_2_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/437\/8802800861214-3.jpg","size_3_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1080x450\/tour\/437\/8802800861214-3.webp","size_4_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/437\/8802800861214-3.webp","size_4_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/437\/8802800861214-3.jpg","size_5_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1440x900\/tour\/437\/8802800861214-3.webp","size_6_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/437\/8802800861214-3.webp","size_6_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/437\/8802800861214-3.jpg"},{"original":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/tour\/437\/8818118950942-3.jpg","index":3,"size_1_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/640x450\/tour\/437\/8818118950942-3.webp","size_2_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/437\/8818118950942-3.webp","size_2_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/437\/8818118950942-3.jpg","size_3_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1080x450\/tour\/437\/8818118950942-3.webp","size_4_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/437\/8818118950942-3.webp","size_4_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/437\/8818118950942-3.jpg","size_5_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1440x900\/tour\/437\/8818118950942-3.webp","size_6_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/437\/8818118950942-3.webp","size_6_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/437\/8818118950942-3.jpg"},{"original":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/tour\/437\/8802801123358-3.jpg","index":4,"size_1_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/640x450\/tour\/437\/8802801123358-3.webp","size_2_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/437\/8802801123358-3.webp","size_2_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/437\/8802801123358-3.jpg","size_3_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1080x450\/tour\/437\/8802801123358-3.webp","size_4_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/437\/8802801123358-3.webp","size_4_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/437\/8802801123358-3.jpg","size_5_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1440x900\/tour\/437\/8802801123358-3.webp","size_6_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/437\/8802801123358-3.webp","size_6_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/437\/8802801123358-3.jpg"},{"original":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/tour\/437\/8802802696222-3.jpg","index":5,"size_1_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/640x450\/tour\/437\/8802802696222-3.webp","size_2_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/437\/8802802696222-3.webp","size_2_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/437\/8802802696222-3.jpg","size_3_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1080x450\/tour\/437\/8802802696222-3.webp","size_4_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/437\/8802802696222-3.webp","size_4_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/437\/8802802696222-3.jpg"
