Rundugai
Cultural Tourism is a place to create a lifelong memory for those visiting
Moshi Town or Arusha for safari or mountain trekking. The village lies some 25
km from the Kilimanjaro International Airport. Drive through the round loop to
Boma then turn south to the village office, just after crossing the railway.
For visitors coming from Moshi the village is 38 km away. Visitors get stunning
views of both Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru while enjoying the cultural
diversity of ethnic groups coexisting together. Probably the most known are the
