If you’re planning a trip to Moshi or anywhere near Mount Kilimanjaro, one of the first questions you might ask yourself is: “Can I use Uber in Moshi?” With ride-sharing apps popular in many major cities around the world, it’s a fair question—and the short answer is: Uber does not operate in Moshi.
As a local driver and founder of Moshi Taxi, let me walk you through the reality of ride-hailing in Moshi and the Kilimanjaro region—and why a trusted, personalized service like ours is not just better, but essential when you visit this area.
Let’s start with Uber. Uber does not operate in Moshi or anywhere in the Kilimanjaro region as of this writing. You won’t find it on the map or in the app for this area. The nearest cities where Uber sometimes operates are Dar es Salaam and occasionally Arusha, but even there, coverage is limited and not nearly as structured as you’d find in larger African cities like Nairobi or Johannesburg.
This is where Moshi Taxi stands out. We’re not just another car on a screen. We are dedicated, full-time transport providers based right here in Moshi. When you book a ride with Moshi Taxi—whether it’s for a short trip around town, an airport transfer, or a pickup from your hotel—you’re getting a driver who:
-
Knows the area inside and out
-
Speaks good English
-
Understands the needs of international travelers
-
Shows up on time—every time
There are no surprises, no cancellations, and no “I can’t find you” excuses.
Safety and accountability are at the heart of our service. With Moshi Taxi, you can be sure every trip is safe and professionally managed. We keep our vehicles clean, well-maintained, and ready for the road. We’ve helped travelers late at night, during rainstorms, and even with last-minute changes in plans. We don’t just drop you off and disappear—we make sure you get where you need to be, and we stay connected via WhatsApp for updates, changes, or emergencies.
Transparent pricing is another key difference. With Moshi Taxi:
-
We confirm everything in advance
-
There are no hidden fees or meter surprises
-
No last-minute cancellations
-
You get a fair, fixed rate, and we stick to it
-
You can pay in Tanzanian shillings, US dollars, or via mobile money
