Moshi is the base for most Kilimanjaro climbs. Here is what you can do from here, before or after your trek.
Moshi sits at the foot of Kilimanjaro, about an hour from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). Many travellers spend a night or two here before a climb, and a rest day afterwards. We can arrange transfers from the airport and between Moshi and Arusha hotels, and we confirm the details in your proposal.
The Marangu, Machame and other routes all begin from gates within a short drive of Moshi. Compare them in our route guide, and see full-moon climb dates if you would like a moonlit summit night.
Moshi is about three hours from Arusha, and the Tarangire and Ngorongoro route is easy to start from here. A common plan is a Kilimanjaro climb followed by a short safari. Tell us your dates and we will suggest how to link them.
