Can you mountain bike up and down mount kilimanjaro in Africa? More so can you unicycle it?

So I want to plan a trip to climb Mount Kilimanjaro on a unicycle and then ride down. Is it possible? What are the rules and regulations?

Are bicycles illegal? Even if they are do you think I could get special permission? Or do it anyways since a unicycle is not a bicycle by definition?

You can mountain bike it it's been done before, at least by this guy thelonelyroad.org here is his route up the mountain thelonelyroad.org/lonely-road-challenge/kilimanjaro-climb here are all the routes one can take up kilimanjaro, including an accurate map in pdf format climbmountkilimanjaro.com/the-routes-up-... there is also a book called "bicycle up kimimanjaro" by crane cousins fortypluscc.co.uk/all%20sections/miscell... unicycle, I would like to see it, but don't go it alone, raise some funds or something, get some press together, make history.

Wow - my first thought was - this person is nuts - but NO, people do it: see below! If I were you, I would sign up for an adventure tour for your first trip there and do it on a bike, then try the unicycle later? These people seem to know...no trips in 2008, though, because of the civil unrest there.Xxx QUOTE xxxOn our 16 day Tanzanian biking adventure we travel from Arusha, East Africa's safari capital to Dar es Salaam on the Indian Ocean coast; or the reverse journey (see itineraries below).

Biking far from busy roads and main tourist routes you will experience a different face of Africa - local villages and traditional tribesmen, breathtaking scenery and wildlife grazing on the plains. We travel through open savannah, desert, mountain rainforest and tropical coastline. We follow the foothills of Mt Kilimanjaro with its snow-covered peaks and camp in the wilderness under a cloudless African sky.

We take a break from our bikes to walk in Arusha National Park and on the lower slopes of Mt Kilimanjaro, take a game drive in Ngorongoro Crater, which hosts the largest concentration of plains game anywhere in the world and gives you the wildlife experience that East Africa is famous for. Enjoy a day hike and visit a local school in the unspoilt Usambara Mountains. Biking through the Usambara Mountains and down to the tropical coastal forest and villages brings us finally to Dar es Salaam, "Haven of Peace".

We regret that we will not be including Kenya in our biking adventure this year - 2008 due to the current 'unrest'. As we have many colleagues, friends and family in Kenya who need our support now more than ever we will be fund raising throughout the year to assist the many people who have been displaced from their homes. If you would like to make a donation please contact us.

We plan to return to our normal Kenya and Tanzania itinerary in 2009. Some people choose to extend their trip and follow with a trek of Mt Kilimanjaro or experience the culture and buzz of Zanzibar Island. Either of which we can help you to arrange.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
