Moshi, Tourism gateway at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.
The municipality stretches across 59 square kilometers at an elevation of 890 meters, featuring a network of streets lined with coffee shops and markets.
German colonists established a military camp in 1893, leading to the development of a railway connection in 1912 and municipal status in 1988.
The Chaga people maintain strong agricultural traditions through coffee cultivation and operate cooperative unions that support local farmers.
Kilimanjaro International Airport connects travelers to Moshi, while local transportation includes bus services and taxis throughout the 21 administrative wards.
The name Moshi originates from the smoke patterns visible around Mount Kilimanjaro, creating a natural connection between the city and the mountain.
