About Moshi
Moshi is the small town at the base of Kilimanjaro and the usual overnight before and after a climb. On a clear morning the summit fills the sky above the town, and most route gates, Machame and Marangu among them, are a short drive away. The town is calm and easy to walk, ringed by the coffee and banana farms of the Chagga people on the lower slopes. A free day suits a coffee tour, the Materuni waterfalls, or simply resting your legs after the summit.
