Hotels in Moshi TanzaniaThe densely populated Kilimanjaro Region is
divided into five administrative districts; Moshi, Hai, Rombo, Mwanga and Same, each headed by a District
Commissioner. Moshi town is the tourist and administrative commercial center of Kilimanjaro Region and
to a great extent, the entire Northeast Tanzania. With an area of 13,210km², Kilimanjaro Region is
the smallest region among Tanzania's 26 regions. Moshi is home to the Chagga and Maasai tribes
and lies on the A 23 Arusha – Himo east – west road connecting Arusha and Voi, Kenya. Just to
the east of Moshi is the intersection with the B 1 north – south road eventually
connecting with Tanga and Dar es Salaam. Moshi is often considered the
cleanest town in East Africa. The town is now host to the
Kilimanjaro Marathon which is rapidly growing in popularity and there are several cultural
tourism programs operating on the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro. Moshi also serves as the base
for many expeditions up nearby Mt. Kilimanjaro, with many climbers staying in nearby hotels
and employing locals as guides, porters and cooks.
