Moshi

Moshi of northern Tanzania is known for its coffee farms and busy, colorful streets, where there is always something fascinating to discover and people to meet.
The city can be found at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. That said, anyone can behold Kili’s majestic stature during clear sky days.

Moshi is the only place where you can view Kilimanjaro.
The good thing here is that you can get a breathtaking mountain view from any position when you are at Moshi, unlike when you are in Arusha.

Moshi is a friendly city in northern Tanzania. It is an oasis of beautiful, expansive coffee plantations with an attractive blend of African and Asian influences.
It is where Kilimanjaro’s skyline dominates.

Among the things you can do in Moshi are climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, hiking Mount Meru, and visiting the Pare Mountains.
In addition, you can also go on banana and coffee tours, visit the Maasai Cultural Museum and Village, and much more!

A day trip to the crater lake rewards visitors with breathtaking views of the area, the savannah grasslands, and the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro.
The lake offers a uniquely tranquil environment, fresh air, and an excellent opportunity to get close to nature.

Considering the various activities you can do in Moshi, it is truly worth visiting. You can visit Kikuletwa hot springs and the Maasai Cultural Village and Museum.

Moshi is closer to Kilimanjaro, usually the starting point of several safaris, making it a good option.
However, if you compare the two in size, Arusha is much bigger, so there are likely more things to do there, and see if you only have a few days to wander.
