Kilimanjaro Wonders Hotel describes itself as one of Moshi’s first four-star boutique hotels, and its signature feature is the view. The open-air bar on the fourth floor looks straight towards Kilimanjaro, and as the clouds lift in the early evening the snow-capped summit often appears — an unforgettable sight before a climb, and an emotional one after you have stood on top.
The hotel has 44 modern rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, a safe, a hair dryer and free Wi-Fi. They are clean, contemporary and practical: a comfortable base for a night or two before or after the mountain, or at the start of a safari in the northern parks.
There is plenty to do between briefings and departures. A swimming pool with sun terraces is ideal on Moshi’s warm afternoons, a fully equipped fitness room helps climbers stay loose, and a children’s playground keeps younger travellers busy. Two restaurants serve international food and barbecues, with live music on some evenings, and breakfast is included in the room rate.
Practical services make life easy for climbers and families alike: an airport shuttle, luggage storage while you are on the mountain, and a conference hall for groups. The hotel’s lively, sociable atmosphere suits travellers who like to be around other climbers and swap stories at the bar.
Moshi itself is the starting point for most Kilimanjaro routes, and the main gates are around an hour’s drive. Our Moshi team holds your pre-climb briefing at the hotel, checks your equipment and collects you on the morning of departure.
