Itinerary
- 1You will be picked up in the morning at your hotel in Moshi and taken to the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate (Marangu Gate, 1860m). The drive will take approximately 1 hour. Once the necessary gate registration has been completed, your trek can begin and you will soon be hiking through the dense Kilimanjaro rainforest. Alongside the impressive vegetation, you will have the chance to catch a glimpse of black and white colobus monkeys, blue monkeys and various bird species. Our knowledgeable English-speaking guide will inform you about Kilimanjaro and will explain the different species of plants and animals you will see. You will also meet mountain climbers descending from the top, and perhaps some of them will tell you of their experiences and you can start to dream about a climb of your own! After a 3-4 hour hike, you will reach Mandara Hut (2700m), where you will have a well-earned rest and lunch. Your guide will then take you on a short hike (15 minutes walking distance) to the Maundi Crater, where you can enjoy wonderful views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Northern Tanzania and Kenya. Once you have thoroughly enjoyed the views, you will return to the Marangu Gate (2-3 hours walking distance), where your vehicle will be waiting for your transfer back to your hotel. On your return journey you can enjoy the sunset and the day‘s memories. Altitude gain: 1860m to 2700m Distance (one way): 8 km Hiking time: 3 - 4 hours up / 2 - 3 hours down (total time 5 - 7 hours) Habitat: Mountain Forest

- craighE2418BK0 contributionsGreat way to see the waterfall and experience a local villageThanks Nick for a great tour. We ground and made our own coffee the way the local do it, before getting to drink it. After hiking up to the waterfront and back we were treated to a tasty lunch. This felt like an authentic experience and contributes to the local people. No pressure. Nothing was rushed. A great day.Written August 21, 2024
- 289francescak0 contributionsAmazing Tarangire trip was like the Lion King in real life!Moshi Tours & Transfer took such good care of me during my time in Tanzania. I did 2 trips with them, Tarangire was amazing. My guide Timothy went above and beyond so I could see as many animals as possible. I saw elephants, lions, giraffes ostriches, warthogs it was like the Lion King came to life. Lunch was delicious. The experience was amazing, Nick was great at organising and Timothy my guide was exceptional. I will only book with these guys when I'm next in Tanzania.Written April 3, 2024
- 332kathrynn0 contributionsProfessional and highly recommended BusinessNick with Moshi Tours & Transfer is a highly professional, kind, and considerate business owner who provided great service to my daughter and I as we travelled througout Tanzania on Safari, hiking Kilimanjaro, and general transfers. His team was on time, efficient, and had a strong skill-set in educating us about Tanzania and Mt. KIlimanjaro. I highly recomment Nick and and his team. When I travel again to Tanzania, Nick will be my go-to guy!Written January 27, 2024
- Solo34750 contributionsMoshi Tours and TransfersI booked 3 tours with Nick,(separately reviewed). I don't normally do reviews but Nick made sure that my short trip to Moshi will be one I will never forget. Nick is punctual, has great knowledge and takes pride in giving his full attention. A 5 star man and 5 star tour company. Asante Sana Nick, rafiki yanguWritten September 7, 2023
- Solo34750 contributionsCoffee culture with great waterfall view.A big thanks to Nick and guide OZ for making this tour memorable. We first stopped off at a village in the foothills where the locals grow their own coffee shrubs. The process from berry to cup was shown along with singing and dancing. Then we hiked up to the waterfall listening to Africa by Toto and Queens Bohemian Rhapsody( Freddie Mercury was of course born in Zanzibar). Then back to the village for a traditional lunch with Banana beer. Nick and his partners go the extra mile to make sure you have a special experience to remember. I started out as a customer and left Tanzania with Nick as good friend for life.Written September 7, 2023
- Solo34750 contributionsTransfer To MoshiOn arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport Nick was outside waiting for me. Nick is a great, safe driver and has a great knowledge about everything Tanzania has to offer. Highly recommended.Written September 7, 2023
- Solo34750 contributionsA Fantastic Day OutNick and Nick made sure that my day out was a special occasion. They met me the night before at my hotel for an in depth briefing(over a beer of course) on what to wear and what to expect. The day itself was even better than expected. The highlight being watching a pair of mating lions!! Lots of elephants, zebras and giraffes. Not forgetting the prey animals, wildebeests, gazelle etc. I would highly recommend this Tour with Nick. Asante Sana.Written September 7, 2023

- marcus b0 contributionsGreat activity for pre-Kilimanjaro hikeExcellent guide. The coffee experience was informative and engaging. The waterfall is beautiful and a nice day hike. It’s a great tour for people about to head out on the Kilimanjaro trek.Written July 24, 2023
- hendersong3710 contributionsExcellent & Beyond ExpectationsOur arrival in Moshi was very smooth. Professional driver who went further and helped us get a Tanzanian Sim card when we arrived in Moshi. Our family really enjoyed the 1 hour ride from Kilimanjaro International Airport with insights about people who live around Kilimanjaro and their culture. We will definitely recommend this company to anyone travelling to Moshi.Written June 21, 2023
- Alexandra R0 contributionsLocal Owner/Operator who will give you the insider tours around Moshi and Beyond!I had one day in Moshi after my Kilimanjaro climb before my flight. In the morning, I contacted Nick at Moshi Tour & Transfer and was able to schedule a same-day Coffee Plantation and Materuni Falls trip. Nick picked me up at my hotel and we went straight on the excursion! The tour was very nice - hosted by a member of the Chagga, who explained all the wildlife and trees/fruit along the way to the falls. The tour guide was also kind enough to take lots of pictures throughout! The falls were beautiful, as was the walk to get there. The tour also included seeing the entire coffee process (minus the planting/picking as it wasn't the season), and ended in a really delicious cup of coffee! We drove back and ended the day at a local BBQ place that was amazing (ask Nick to either take you or tell you the name)!! Nick was a terrific host for the day and was able to answer all of my questions about the area and the tourism there. He is very focused on providing the best services! Highly recommend!!Written March 21, 2023
- valentijngeirnaert0 contributionsGreat experience and very reliable!We booked a 1 day safari in Tarangire the day before. Nik came to visit us that evening to explain the details in person. We were picked up from our accommodation in Moshi the next morning for a great safari, and our guide even raced through the park to get us a rare leopard sighting! We saw lions, leopard, cheetahs, zebra, giraffes, elephants, ostriches, antelopes, gazelle, water buks, dikdiks and many types of bird. The lunch was tasty and the guide was great at pointing out animals and sights. Would definitely recommend these guys!Written January 21, 2023

Stunning nature along the hike and a very friendly and knowledgeable guide who answered all my questions and explained a lot!

This was a great experience. Nick organized everything clearly and perfectly, meeting us a day before to explain all details. Martin was a wonderful guide, sharing with us a lot of knowledge about animals, plants, history and culture. We recommend it to get a first taste of Kilimanjaro!

My guide Ramadhan and I set off to Mandara Hut. I'm so glad I booked with Nick and Moshi Tours and transfer as we saw the peaks because we went a bit further than Mandara hut and went to the crater where you could see the peaks. On the way back down from the crater we saw another group who were finishing at Mandara Hut and they were disappointed they couldn't see the peaks, whereas we had lunch there and spent time in the crater.
I'm glad I did this tour because I want to climb the mountain and this gave me a lot of confidence to return next year. We saw monkeys, the Tanzanian national flower which is only found in the Kilimanjaro region and it was a great day one I won't forget so thanks to Ramadhan, Nelson and Nick

I really enjoyed hiking one day on Kilimanjaro. It was really great.
I also went to Materuni waterfalls with Nick. I had lot of fun during the coffee tour.
Nick has been great also to help me organize a taxi early in the morning to take the bus to leave Moshi.

This was a wonderful experience with great guides! You will be very satisfied that you booked it! Everything about it met my expectations. Although you should be prepared for quite the hike, I do not regret pushing myself to do it. Now it is my goal to come back and do the same tour except I will book the option to climb to the top of Kilimanjaro. I recommend Moshi Tours and Transfer!

It was such a Great experience! The pick up was on time and they were very friendly and helpful. Getting into Kilimanjaro was easy as they do all the work for you. The hike itself was amazing and very informative along the way. I want to come back to TNZ and climb all the way to the top and will definitely book them again for my next experience.

Nick and guide Ramadahn made sure that everything ran smoothly. A moderately challenging hike(I'm 64 but found the going ok) but Ramadahn made sure to set a reasonable pace. A small backpack, lightweight hiking shoes and jacket are ample things to bring. Water and lunch are provided.
Unfortunately due to cloud cover Kilimanjaro was not visible but that's out of Nick's control and did not spoil what was a great day out.

Hiking for the day on Kilimanjaro was an incredible experience. It was beautiful, a good challenge, and my guied was super! Starting with a direct transfer from my hotel, to getting our hiking passes, hiking pole, and lunch; everything was well planned out, on time, and smooth. Nick's team is highly professional and courteous. My guide was well-versed in English, history of Kilimanjaro, wildlife, and plants. He was super at pointing out plantlife to me and naming everything not just in English but also Latin. Very intelligent and personable young man. I felt secure and trusted him to keep me safe througout the entire hike.

I was very satisfied with Nick's service. He answered all questions leading up hike, picked us up right on time and provided an experienced guide for our trek.
Nick also provided transportation from our hotel to the airport for a very reasonable price. I had an early check-out at our Moshi hotel and a lot of time to kill before my flight home so Nick picked me up in the morning, took me to several local art stores and dropped me off at the airport for my 9:20pm flight.
I highly recommend using Moshi Tours and Transfer for your special Kilimanjaro day hike and local transportation.
