Discover Rau Forest’s Natural Highlights
Rau Forest Reserve, just outside Moshi, protects a rare pocket of lowland forest centred on a giant African teak tree estimated at around 200 years old, alongside colobus and blue monkeys, forest birds, and butterflies along its shaded trails.
The walk also takes in views over the surrounding rice paddies fed by the Rau River, rounding off with a stop at the reserve’s picnic area. Message our Moshi booking managers on WhatsApp for a free consultation.
A Rare Forest Pocket Beside Kilimanjaro
Gazetted as a forest reserve in 1951, Rau Forest survives as one of the few remaining patches of its kind near Moshi, valued both for its wildlife and for the Rau River that flows through it, sustaining the rice fields on its edges.
Beyond its ecological interest, the reserve has a quieter, undeveloped feel compared to Moshi’s better-known attractions, making it a good half-day option for travellers wanting an easy nature escape close to town.
