Moshi is a great place to visit as the gateway to Mount Kilimanjaro and a base for climbers. The town itself offers charming local culture, coffee plantations, and a relaxed atmosphere. Crucially, Moshi is an excellent base for day trips to attractions like Materuni Waterfalls, Kikuletwa Hot Springs, Lake Chala, and various national parks (Arusha, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Mkomazi), as well as offering Kilimanjaro day hikes and cultural tours. It combines adventure, culture, and easy access to stunning surrounding nature.

Moshi is a small, bustling town that nestles in the gently-sloping foothills of the majestic Kilimanjaro. It’s the traditional jump-off point for the brave souls that attempt Kilimanjaro but Moshi isn’t just about climbing. It has a spirit and energy all its own, and, although the grand beauty of Kilimanjaro looming in the distance is ever-present, it’s worth exploring for its colour, bustling markets and daily lives of its Chagga residents.Take the daladala with the locals to ride around town and stop at one of the many streetside cafes for coffee and cake while you decide between which of the many day trips available. That’s the beauty of Moshi – it’s so well placed for a myriad of affordable experiences.
