You will feel both, big tarmac and dirty gravel roads, while you are riding first, through Chagga villages, banana and coffee plantations, as well as green lush forests. After that, as you are going more west, the land becomes less overgrown with plants, with more arid open plains. That is the land of the Maasai people, and you will find yourself in a totally different landscape and culture.
