About
Moshi
Moshi
is a small and lively town located on the scenic lower slopes of Mount
Kilimanjaro in northern Tanzania.
The
friendly town of Moshi is popular as a base for trekking up Mt Kilimanjaro,
Africa’s tallest mountain.
Moshi,
the coffee-producing centre of Tanzania, is also close to the famous Ngorongoro
Conservation Area, Lake Manyara National Park and Arusha National Park.
Moshi Attractions
This
bustling, yet peaceful town is a pleasant and colourful place to explore on
foot, visiting local markets and shops that sell fresh produce, curios and all
kinds of interesting things.
The
main reason for visiting Moshi is of course to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, a dormant volcano
.
Attractions
in Moshi include the seasonal coffee auctions, where international buyers bid
for wholesale coffee. The coffee-roasting factory in Moshi is also worth
visiting to learn about coffee production and enjoy the sweet aromas.
From
Moshi you can embark on short hikes and day-trips to visit local tribes and
villages, as well as crop and coffee plantations.
Moshi Location
The
agricultural town of Moshi is located in the Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania,
surrounded by the plantation-covered slopes of majestic Mt Kilimanjaro.
The
scenic rural area around Moshi also features sugar plantations, playing an
important role in the region’s economy.
The
Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) is about half an hour’s drive from
Moshi. Moshi is close to the Kenya-Tanzania border and about a two-hour drive
from Arusha, Tanzania’s safari capital.
When to travel to Moshi
Moshi
has a tropical climate with two rainy seasons. The best time to visit Moshi is
during the drier, warmer months best suited for climbing Mt Kilimanjaro – these are January to February and September.
Other
times that are good for climbing Kilimanjaro are from June to August, when
conditions are cooler but still outside of the rainy seasons.
If
you are travelling to Moshi to climb Kilimanjaro avoid the two rainy
seasons in Tanzania – one is from the end of March to the start of June and the
other is from November to the start of December.
