MOSHI TOWN

Moshi town is Nestle at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro  and it is the Coffee producing center of the Country and the vast plantations blanket the area. Cultural tourism programmes can be arranged such as short hikes and day-trips to chagga tribes in Machame, Marangu, Uru, Old Moshi and villages, and also tours of nearby crops and coffee farms.

Other wildlife excursion can commence from Moshi as well to Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara National Parks and to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Walks around the town of Moshi, Tanzania and a trip to the coffee auction that is held here are activities of interest to passing visitors, but the main reason visitors come to Moshi is climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, the mountain whose thick clouds and snow-capped peak towers over the agricultural town. Mt. Kilimanjaro climbing expeditions depart from the town into Mt. Kilimanjaro National Park early in the morning, before the clouds that cluster daily around the mountaintop have risen, and when the air is fresh and cool.

Whether you’re in Moshi Tanzania to scale to the top of Africa or learn more about coffee growing and production, Moshi is a quiet haven of tranquil peace whose quiet streets offer a warm welcome in a beautiful setting.
