Activities in Moshi
-
Outer Moshi Walk
The area outside Moshi is beautiful, and Machame, Umbwe and other towns above Moshi on Kilimanjaro's lower slopes are linked by easy-to-follow footpaths. To explore them, base yourself out of town at Kilemakyaro Lodge (027-275 4925; www.kilimanjarosafari.com) or in Machame, where all hotels organise hikes for their guests. Another excursion: take a dalla-dalla (minibus) from the central bus station to Kibosho (around TSh500, 12km), where there's an old German church.

Central Moshi Walk
Central Moshi is full of activity and atmosphere and makes an interesting walk, especially the area around the market and Mawenzi Rd, with its vaguely Asian flavour, Hindu temple, mosques and Indian traders. Also fun is catching a glimpse of Kilimanjaro, which hovers over the horizon to the north, and is best seen in the evening when the clouds part.
