Moshi, Kilimanjaro

Moshi, a vibrant town in northern Tanzania near the Kenyan border, is the gateway to Mount Kilimanjaro Africa’s highest peak. Known for its lush coffee plantations, Moshi offers visitors the chance to explore local farms, visit coffee tasting houses, and experience the flavours of Tanzania’s world-class beans.
