5Hiking in the Kilimanjaro National Park with Ozzie
We went by tuk tuk to the gates of the kilamanjaro National Park. It was rainy but not too bad and the mists made it extra incredible. We hiked a total of 9.2 miles or about 15 kilometers. Halfway up our guide Ozzie pulled a fantastic lunch for us to enjoy. Yogurt samosa chicken and a sandwich. We got to see 3 fabulous waterfalls. And several Blue Monkeys. It was a wonderful day and we would do it again and trust our hike to Ozzie too.

About Moshi
Moshi is a friendly market town on the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro, the main base for climbing Africa's highest mountain.
Kilimanjaro's snow-capped summit towers over the town on clear mornings, and Moshi is where most climbers prepare and later celebrate. Routes such as Marangu and Machame start at park gates a short drive away, while Lemosho sets off from the far western side of the mountain, climbing through farmland, rainforest, heath and alpine desert to the glaciers near Uhuru Peak.
Top-ranked sights in Moshi: Materuni Waterfall, Lake Chala, Kikuletwa Hot Springs (Chemka Hot Springs).
