Northern Circuit -> Mount Kilimanjaro -> Moshi Town

Moshi Town

Moshi is a small busy town, dwarfed by the towering slopes of Kilimanjaro rising proudly above its roofs. Moshi is smaller than neighbouring Arusha, and less-visited apart from those climbing Kilimanjaro - as a result the atmosphere is more relaxed and far less touristy than other towns. Moshi has a busy market which is fascinating to wander round, and there are several options for eating and drinking, as well as a range of choices for accommodation. Many people stay in Arusha before and after their Kilimanjaro climb, but for those looking for somewhere a little more relaxing and unusual, Moshi is a good place to spend some time either side of climbing Kilimanjaro.
