Parkview Inn
Parkview Inn
A 50-room hotel in Moshi, facing Uhuru Park, offering a comfortable urban stopover before climbing Mount Kilimanjaro or after a safari in northern Tanzanie.
Parkview Inn sits opposite Uhuru Park in Moshi, the crossroads town at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. The property has 50 rooms and suites and functions as a logical base for preparing to climb Africa's rooftop or recovering after a safari in northern Tanzanie.
Why choose Parkview Inn
This hotel appeals to travelers seeking standardized urban comfort in Moshi before or after a trek. Positioned across from Uhuru Park in the heart of town, shops, trek agencies, and restaurants are all within walking distance. From most rooms, views sweep across Mount Kilimanjaro and the city itself—opening the curtains on clear mornings proves worthwhile.
The property suits three distinct purposes: a transition night upon arriving in Moshi, a staging point before heading to the park entrance, or a recovery stop after several days of safari or high-altitude walking.
Atmosphere and setting
The address cultivates a family-friendly atmosphere, removed from the hustle of major resorts. The pool, lined with loungers, serves as a decompression point at day's end, with free Wi-Fi extending to the water's edge. The grounds are compact enough to remain peaceful, which helps after a long day's drive or return from a mountain camp.
The rooms
The 50 rooms and suites are air-conditioned and equipped with cable television, a small refrigerator, and a desk. Most offer views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Moshi town. The range remains consistent: this is comfortable hotel-standard accommodation, designed for recuperative nights rather than a lodge experience.
Room types
Dining and services
- Restaurant serving traditional Tanzanian cuisine and a selection of Indian dishes, a legacy of the Indian diaspora long established in the region
- Outdoor pool with loungers
- Free Wi-Fi, including poolside
- Air conditioning in all rooms
The offerings cover essentials for a one- to three-night stay bracketing a trek or safari, without aspiring to high-end resort standards.
Location in Moshi
Moshi is the historic gateway to Mount Kilimanjaro. The hotel faces Uhuru Park, the town's central green space, and remains within walking distance of the market and main local agencies. Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) is roughly 45 minutes away by road—a practical distance for timing an evening arrival flight without enduring a lengthy transfer.
To understand the town's context and plan days before or after a trek, see our Moshi page.
Nearby attractions
- Mount Kilimanjaro National Park: the Marangu gate, the classic climbing departure point, lies roughly 30 kilometers northeast of Moshi. The park shelters Africa's highest peak (5,895 m) and sharply contrasting vegetation zones, from tropical forest to alpine moorland.
- Moshi Railway Station: built in 1911 on the line connecting the coast to the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, it is now largely dormant. A café stationed on the platforms remains a quiet vantage point, between disused tracks and passersby.
- Coffee plantations on the Kilimanjaro slopes: several Chagga cooperatives offer short visits to understand the arabica coffee supply chain, emblematic of the region.
For trekking continuation, Mandara Hut is the first stop on the Marangu route. For safari, you can move on to Karatu Simba Lodge near Ngorongoro or Gran Melia Arusha for a higher-end night in Arusha.
