Mindful meoweler tips

Respect the Chagga culture

The Chagga people are the dominant ethnic group in Moshi. Remember to be respectful of their customs, and ask permission before taking photos of people or objects.

Try the local food

Moshi offers a range of delicious Tanzanian dishes. Don't miss out on trying 'ugali', a cornmeal dish that is a staple in Tanzanian cuisine.

Climb Mount Kilimanjaro

Moshi is the starting point for many mountaineers looking to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. The best time to climb is from January to March when the mountain is warmer and less rainy.
