Day Trips Around Moshi
No need to commit to a multi-day trek to see what this part of Tanzania has to offer. These half- and full-day trips run year-round, can be combined with each other, and make a great add-on before or after a climb or safari.
Pick a day trip
Materuni Waterfall & Coffee Tour
Trek through Chagga farmland to a 90-metre waterfall on Kilimanjaro's lower slopes, then visit a family farm to roast, grind and brew your own coffee the traditional way.
Chemka Hot Springs
Swim in a crystal-clear, naturally warm spring-fed lagoon shaded by fig trees — a relaxing counterpoint to a hard climb or long safari drive.
Marangu Day Hike
Walk the lower rainforest section of the Marangu route as far as Mandara Hut without committing to a full expedition — ideal if you're short on time but want a taste of the mountain.
Materuni Village & Marangu Cultural Tour
Combine a waterfall walk with a guided visit to a local Chagga homestead — banana beer brewing, traditional houses, and a home-cooked lunch included.
Combine a day trip with your climb or safari
Most travellers add one or two of these on the day before departure or after returning to Moshi.
