What should I pack when moving to Moshi?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Moshi to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Moshi, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing, as the climate is generally warm and humid. Include long-sleeved shirts and pants to protect yourself from mosquitoes and the sun. Don't forget a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen for sun protection. Bring a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings and a raincoat or umbrella for the rainy season. Pack comfortable walking shoes or sandals, as well as hiking boots if you plan to explore the nearby Mount Kilimanjaro. Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and a water purification system or tablets to ensure safe drinking water. Make sure to pack all necessary travel documents, including your passport, visa, travel insurance, and any vaccination records. Bring a photocopy of these documents as well, in case of loss or theft. Pack a basic first aid kit with essentials like band-aids, pain relievers, and any prescription medications you may need. Include insect repellent and anti-malarial medication, as malaria is a risk in Tanzania. Bring a power adapter and voltage converter, as Tanzania uses a different electrical system than many other countries. Pack a portable charger for your electronic devices, as power outages can be common. Pack a small flashlight or headlamp, as street lighting may be limited in Moshi. Bring a travel-sized laundry detergent and a clothesline, as laundry facilities may not be readily available. Pack a few non-perishable snacks, as well as any specific food items you may need if you have dietary restrictions. Bring a reusable shopping bag for grocery shopping, as plastic bags are banned in Tanzania. Finally, pack a small notebook or journal to document your experiences, a camera to capture memories, and a guidebook or phrasebook to help you navigate the local language and culture," remarked another expat in Moshi, Tanzania.
