Safaris
Safaris are the most obvious and popular attraction, with 2-7 day safaris available which take you elephant spotting, lion chasing and camping in the wilds of the Serengeti. Within a days drive of Moshi there are numerous National Parks such as Lake Manyara known for its tree climbing lions and elephants that walk up to your jeep, Ngorogoro Crater, the largest unbroken crater in the world, densely populated by herds of wildebeest and zebra, and Tarangire National Park.
Mountain climbing
For mountaineers there is Kilimanjaro on the doorstep, a 6 day climb to the snow-capped summit at 5800m, the highest peak in Africa, Mount Meru, a spectacular volcanic crater and Oldoinyo Lengai, an active volcano along the Kenyan border lying within the Maasai territory.
Zanzibar
Zanzibar can be reached by one days traveling from Moshi. Its beaches provide days of sunbathing or diving, while the town, Stone Town is a beautiful throw-back to the colonial era with narrow cobbled streets and fresh sea food.
Other attractions
Walks in the Pare mountains, visits to tribal villages and shopping in African craft markets are just some of the activities available to those based in Moshi and traveling around Tanzania.
How to book
WAIT UNTIL YOU GET HERE!!! Not only will you get cheaper prices but you can meet up with others that want to do similar trips as you and so save yourself money. At the hostel we have connections with reliable guides and will assist you in arranging a trip. Often a trip will be arranged with spaces available for others to sign on. We also arrange day trips from the hostel at the weekends, when most volunteers are free, so give yourself a little bit of extra time when you are booking your trip because the country has so much to offer.
