Activities

Tanzania is a beautiful and diverse country with Moshi being a gateway to many activities. Most famously Tanzania is known for the amazing Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Mt Kilimanjaro or relaxing on the beautiful island beaches of Zanzibar.

With the Tanzanian government protecting over 25% of its land through National Parks and Reserves (more than any other country on the continent) you are sure to have an amazing experience with nature.

Safaris

Safaris are the most obvious and popular attraction, with 1-10 day trips available.
Here you can experience the famous migration in Serengeti, close elephant encounters at Lake Manyara, huge elephant herds in Tarangire or the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater-the 8th Wonder Of The Word.

Small group camping safaris are the most popular option for our volunteers as they are cost effective and provide an amazing experience of sleeping in the middle of the Serengeti or other parks- a memory which will never be forgotten.

Mountain Climb

Kilimanjaro is right at our doorstep and is one of the most famous accessible mountains in the world.  Its diverse ecosystems are surpassed only by the amazing views from the summit. Kilimanjaro is most commonly hiked over 5-7 days and can be climbed by  seasoned trekkers or reasonably fit first timers.

Other hiking options include Mt Meru (3-4 day hike and Tanzania’s 2nd highest mountain), Olduvai Gorge (approx 8-10 hour hike up an active volcano), hiking in the Pare mountains and other short options which can be done as day trips or added onto your safari.

Zanzibar

Zanzibar can be reached by one days traveling from Moshi.  Its beaches provide days of sunbathing, snorkeling and diving or you can visit the main township of Stone Town, a beautiful throw-back to the colonial era with narrow cobbled streets and fresh sea food.

Other Attractions

Visits to tribal villages, especially the Maasai villages or Hadzabe Bushmen and shopping in African craft markets are just some of the activities available to those based in Moshi.

How to book

For those coming for longer periods you can wait until you arrive.  Here you may meet other people from the hostel wanting to do the same.  Joining small groups together makes your safari or Kilimanjaro climb the most cost effective.

If you are only coming for one month or less, or have specific dates in mind it is advisable to contact African Scenic Safaris prior to arriving.  They can work on finding other people to join you and having everything confirmed in advance.

Over 90% of our Hostel Hoff guests go through African Scenic Safaris….
