Moshi – Gateway to Mount Kilimanjaro Treks

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.

Moshi is the starting point for trekking expeditions to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, which soars to 5,895 metres above the East African plains. Kilimanjaro’s majestic slopes, covered in alpine forests, moorlands, and glaciers, attract trekkers from all over the world eager to conquer this iconic mountain within Kilimanjaro National Park.
