The city in with all things Kilimanjaro are based, Moshi has few ‘must do’ attractions outside of its shining star. Ah, but what a star it is. Surprisingly few restaurants cater to the tourists, although hotels rely soley on the money they bring. A note worth mentioning – gear is hard to come by in Moshi. If you’re desperate, visit the kind folks at the Porter Project.
Transportation: Impala Shuttles
Operated by a hotel chain of the same name, Impala Shuttles are cheaper than their competitors such as Riverside. They offer pick-up from certain hotels but keep in mind it’s EARLIER than the departure time they list, so you have to be ready half an hour beforehand. They WILL NOT wait for you and you will have to chase the bus. Take it from one who knows.
At the border crossing, the driver may take non-East Africa passports and your visa money in attempt to expedite the process. Expect to fight your way through vendors on the Kenyan border. If you pay on the bus, you will be charged the cheaper locals rate. Rates: 15,000 TSh one way, locals rate.
