Featured Destinations

Marangu

Marangu

Marangu is a busy little village 17 mi/27 km east of Moshi that most people visit to climb the Marangu Route up the mountain—the entrance to the Kilimanjaro National Park is 3 mi/5 km beyond the village. Marangu is also an excellent base for gentler walks, bird-watching and observing rural life in the foothills. Several trails radiate from the village into forest and through cultivated belts of coffee and bananas, and there are many waterfalls within a short walk—indeed, in the local Chagga language, Marangu means "a place with too many streams" in reference to the profusion of waterways running off Kilimanjaro. Marangu has a clutch of hotels to stay at or drop in for a meal or refreshments.

Moshi

Moshi

Most travelers find themselves in Moshi because of its proximity to the base of Mount Kilimanjaro. It's from there that trekking companies depart early every morning and head into the Kilimanjaro National Park to commence the climb to the top. The region is particularly fertile because of the volcanic soils and melt-water streams fed by the mountain's snow.

Moshi's other major feature is that all around town and on the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro are vast coffee plantations; this is the country's principle coffee-producing center. The beans are auctioned to international buyers at the Coffee Board in town.

Moshi is fairly compact, with the former European administrative areas clustered around the clock tower, while the main commercial areas are southwest of the market. It's a pleasant town to wander around—there are shops, cafes and tour operator offices (you may get some hounding from touts selling Kili climbs)—and most visitors stay there just long enough to arrange their trek up the mountain and to enjoy a hot shower when they get back. Ensure that your hotel will store your luggage safely while you are on the mountain. Moshi is 340 mi/548 km northwest of Dar es Salaam.
