Did you know? Moshi

Moshi is the gateway to Mount Kilimanjaro, located just 50km from Africa's highest peak at 5,895 metres.

The town sits at 820 metres elevation on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, giving it a cooler, more temperate climate than the Tanzanian lowlands.

Moshi was founded as a German colonial station in the 1880s and served as a hub for coffee plantations that still thrive in the surrounding Kilimanjaro Region.

The town's name likely derives from the Chagga word 'Moshi' meaning 'smoke', referring to the volcanic steam and mist that rise from Kilimanjaro.

Moshi is the centre of Tanzania's coffee industry, producing some of East Africa's most prized arabica beans on the volcanic slopes around the town.
