Moshi Town: Town At Base of Kilimanjaro


Most people planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro usually end up staying somewhere near the base of the mountain - Marangu, Moshi, or sometimes Arusha, although it’s about one hour away. I would recommend my favorite little town of Moshi, which sits right at the base of the mountain.

It’s a pretty small town, with a bustling market, a number of hotels - both cheap and expensive - internet cafes, and a FEW places to find some good food. I like Moshi because it doesn’t feel too touristy. You can sense there is a lot of other business going on, and people generally don’t bug you too much. It’s more more bearable than Arusha, with all its touts trying to sell you crafts.

If you are looking for more night life, then I would stay in Arusha.
