Moshi Changai is a tour guide, not to be confused with the city called Moshi. Moshi arranges eco-cultural trips around Kondoa and the Rift Valley regions of Tanzania but Moshi is more than just a tour guide. He is a the owner/operator of Tanzania Cultural Tours, chef, social activist, environmentalist, ornithologist and father to his children and to his home region of Kondoa, Tanzania. He is working hard to improve the quality of life for his fellow Tanzanians and that of the environment in which we all share.

Moshi's cultural tours serve as an alternative choice to traditional park safaris while still incorporating popular game viewing attractions. His main focus is to promote cultural sensitivity, environmental education and social responsibility, while providing the opportunity to visit natural sites and learn about local culture and traditions. In addition to this, Moshi offers the opportunity to participate in village homestays, allowing tourists to experience village life in rural and remote parts of Tanzania.

Moshi established himself in the tourism industry in the mid-eighties and has formally registered on January 24th, 1995. He is authorized to operate in all areas of Tanzania however primary functions currently exist in three main areas:

(1) Arusha and surrounding game parks including the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National Park, Tarangire and of course Mount Kilimanjaro.

(2) Kondoa: Located on the plateau/highlands area of the Rift Valley with an altitude ranging from 1200m to 1900m above sea level. Also in the surrounding area is Babati and Kolo which is a UN Heritage site designated Rock Paintings/Art

(3) Dar es –Salaam.

Moshi's tours advocate and practice social interactions between visitors and villagers by enabling the tourists to interact and mix freely with the people in their villages, eating and drinking together local foods, drinks, with overnights in the family local huts, joining in ceremonial local dances, rituals, daily family chores- cooking, fetching water, fetching firewood, herding/watering cows andtraditional honey harvesting.

Eco-cultural tours are structured in such a way that positive social and environmental impact is achieved. Furthermore he aims to re-establish natural areas and further provide our visitors with information to help preserve and protect these areas for generations to come. This process is facilitated through experience and in-depth knowledge of the indigenous wildlife and landforms that exist in these areas.Parts of the profits generated through his tours are distributed among local residents to improve their economic power through the hiring of local staff, funding initiatives and re-investing into the organization to develop and maintain the programs.
