Moshi, Tanzania – Top 15 Accommodations

Accommodation is one of the major components of your travel. It plays the role of compensating for your home. Moshi being a small town in the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro and not very far from the Northern National Parks, many tourists start their trip from here.

Many accommodation outlets are available ranging from upscale to camping sites in and around the town. It is always better to book earlier because the best ones are usually full during peak seasons. I’m sure you wouldn’t want nasty surprises after you arrive.
