Moshi

Located on the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, ‘Moshi’ is a small city and is the capital of the Kilimanjaro region. It is an important contributor to the Tanzanian economy through tourism and trade activities. It is the gateway to the northern safari circuit of several lakes, national parks, and of course Mt. Kilimanjaro.

The beauty of Moshi lies in its vast safari parks, serene lakes, and lush plantations of coffee and bananas. The city is covered in miles of Chrysanthemum flowers, lending it an unearthly appearance.

Sports enthusiasts must not miss visiting Moshi Club. This scenic golf course, located at the Kili foothills, is where you can enjoy a round of golf. Those who love solitude, must head over to the impressive Materuni Falls, famous for their crystal clear glacial waters and views of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Coffee lovers would love Moshi! The place offers coffee plantation trails where you can try the freshest coffee and see how it’s grown. Get out of the city and head to the stunning Lake Chala to see its deep crater walls and enjoy boating as you spot baboons, monkeys, and Monitor lizards.

The weather here is tropical wet that alternates with dry windows. The low rainfall months of July-October are the best to visit.
