MOSHI CITY

MOSHI CITY

Moshi is a town in northern Tanzania, near the Kenyan border. It is known as the gateway to Kilimanjaro National Park, home to Africa’s highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro. The city was originally established as a military camp by the Germans and quickly developed into a town, thanks to its railway station and the emerging coffee trade in the region.

Moshi is a melting pot where local markets sit alongside modern supermarkets, and three main religions—Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism—coexist peacefully. The town features local and international cafes and restaurants serving dishes from around the world.
