The Event
Situated south of the equator – in Tanzania – at 5 895 meters (19,340ft), Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain and the highest free-standing mountain in the world. “Kili”, as she is affectionately known, is one of those iconic wonders everyone should see at least once in their lifetime. Every year, since 2003, near the end of February, Moshi, in the shadow of Kilimanjaro, hosts a standard 42.2 km (26.2 miles) marathon, 21.1 km (13.11 miles) half marathon and 5 km (3 miles) fun run. This AIMS registered race, measured to World Athletics specifications, has been set up to promote the sport in Tanzania and has the official backing of the Tanzania Tourist Board, the Tanzania Amateur Athletics Association, and World Athletics. The atmosphere in Moshi over ‘race weekend’ is electric. Moshi is jam-packed with people who have trained for their favorite race distance – motivated to come and ‘strut their stuff’. Moshi will be live – with people coming from around the world to enjoy this unique event, where race sponsors amp up the mood with live music and parties.

What to bring on your Safari
- Clothing: Pack lightweight, breathable clothing made from natural fibers like cotton or linen. Opt for long-sleeved shirts and long pants to protect yourself from the sun, insects, and potential thorny bushes. Neutral-colored clothing is recommended to blend in with the surroundings and avoid attracting insects.
- Layering: Bring a light jacket or sweater for cooler mornings and evenings, as temperatures can drop. Layering allows you to adjust to changing weather conditions throughout the day.
- Hat and sunglasses: Protect yourself from the strong sun with a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses that provide UV protection.
- Footwear: Comfortable, sturdy closed-toe shoes or hiking boots are essential for walking safaris or any activities that involve walking in the bush. Don't forget to pack a pair of comfortable socks as well.
- Swimwear: If your safari includes a visit to a lodge or camp with a swimming pool, bring swimwear for relaxation and cooling off.
- Rain gear: A lightweight, waterproof jacket or poncho is recommended, especially if you're traveling during the rainy season.
