The Kilimanjaro Region, located in northeastern Tanzania, is one of the country’s top tourist destinations, best known for being home to Mount Kilimanjaro—the highest peak in Africa and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This iconic mountain attracts thousands of climbers, trekkers, and nature lovers from around the world each year, drawn by its snow-capped summit, scenic routes, and diverse ecological zones.
At the foot of the mountain lies the city of Moshi, the region’s main urban center and tourism hub. Moshi is a peaceful and welcoming town that offers stunning views of Kilimanjaro and serves as the starting point for most mountain expeditions. The town is well-equipped with hotels, restaurants, tour operators, and gear rental shops, making it a convenient base for visitors.
Beyond the mountain, the Kilimanjaro Region offers a wide range of attractions including coffee farm tours, waterfalls (like Materuni), hot springs (Kikuletwa), Lake Chala, and rich Chagga cultural experiences. Its strategic location also connects easily to other famous Tanzanian parks like Serengeti and Ngorongoro, making Kilimanjaro a key stop in Tanzania’s northern tourism circuit.
