Moshi is situated in the Kilimanjaro region, at the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro; the highest peak in Africa. The town is home to different communities giving it a cultural richness and diversity. The thick clouds and the snow-capped peaks of Kilimanjaro are a spectacular sight form the town below. The markets are a must visit not only for souvenir crafts shopping but also for a feel of the local life. Moshi is the departure point of all Mount Kilimanjaro climbs. Hike to Africa’s highest peak or opt for shorter hikes up rocky hills.
