Moshi Walking City Day Trip Tour
Overview
This walking tour of Moshi offers a deep dive into the local life and history of the area. Your English-speaking guide will begin by taking you to the historic Moshi Railway Station, built in 1911 and reopened in 2019, where you’ll learn about its significance and connections to Rwanda and Burundi. You’ll have the chance to take a photo at the famous Moshi sign, a perfect memento of your visit.

Tour Plan
You will be picked up at the agreed time together with your English-speaking guide. At first your guide will take you to the railway station, which was built in 1911 and closed in 1994, and was re-opened at 7th December 2019 due to improvement of the circumstances in this region. This station is connected to Rwanda and Burundi while you are here you will learn about the function / purpose of it. For sure you’ll have the chance to take a picture in front of the famous Moshi-sign for your memories. We’ll continue our walk on the railway line (only one train per day in the early morning – so no worries!) accompanied by many locals which are on their way to/from work, market or school.
Our next destination is the Mbuyuni Market: a fresh product market on which you’ll experience how locals sell/buy their daily food and also observe regional specialties. You’ll find yourself surrounded by locals who are shopping tropical fruits that are produced in Kilimanjaro region and also some from outside, e.g., pineapple, watermelon, organic avocado. We’ll walk slowly to ensure that you can enjoy this important place of local people’s life and your guide will be happy to answer any question you might have (we’ll find some vegetables or similar that is totally new for you, promise!).
After 1 – 2 hours we’ll finish our tour and from our experience our clients appreciate to be dropped at “Union Coffee”, where they can have a cup of coffee, some soda or also a snack after the walk. In case you are especially interested in a place / part of Moshi which is not captured within the above-described tour (e.g., souvenir shopping place) and/or want to be dropped somewhere else (e.g., hotel), just let us know – this tour is flexible and we are happy to do our best to create your unique and personalized Moshi experience. We’re sure you’ll enjoy it as we know Moshi by heart and can also support with recommendations.
