- Jacob SPasig, Philippines4 contributionsThis is one of the best shops for souvenirs. From paintings, wood carvings, unique masks, magnets and instruments- this place has amazing and varied choices. The staff are also friendly, knowledgeable of their products and are lovely to talk to. Definitely a must visit in the town of Moshi.Written 26 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Buccaneer70Warsaw, Poland2 contributionsWas recommended to this art gallery in Moshe after completing a Mount Kilimanjaro climb. Expected just another tourist trap. ABSOLUTELY NOT! The collection of work from innumerable, talented artists across Tanzania was astonishing. Hundreds, more likely, thousands of paintings of collector quality from artists simply unavailable in developed markets. One-of-a-kind sculptures in wood and stone evidencing extraordinary talent. Tanzanite jewelry with gem quality stones and imaginative settings, comparable to the Tanzanite otherwise only available at Tiffany stores. And crafts of incredible talent and imagination. Blue Zebra Gallery is no souvenir shop, but rather an extraordinary art gallery with rare and unique pieces on a par with some of the finest galleries in the States. Mind you, their prices are not cheap but rather consistent with the quality of the artisans they represent. Nonetheless, I found I had to have two pieces, a wooden sculpture and an oil painting, both by well-known Tanzanian artists. The pieces were shipped to me in the States and arrived 12 days later, when scheduled, well-crated and in perfect condition. The staff at Blue Zebra could not have been more knowledgeable, professional and accommodating. I will treasure these pieces forever. If you can make it to this gallery, don’t miss it!Written 1 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

From the moment you pass through the door you immediatly notice the shop was built with a lot of care and dedication. Every singe piece of jewelery and every painting is very creative and one of a kind. Not only you get to explore everything, you also get to make your own jewelery and so there’s something for every taste. But the Highlight of this visit was definitely Emanuel himself. Emanuel is a great guy - very passionate about what he does, a great storyteller with a very interesting life so far and also a very sharp sense of humour. We spent over 3 hours in his shop just exchanging stories, making souvenirs to take back home, laughing and listening to afro beats and we would do it all over again.
If you are in Moshi, definitely pay Emanuel and his shop a visit, get to know him, and I promise it will be worth your while!Written 20 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Kilimanjaro in April, the women of the Co-operative greeted me and our team and gave each of us colorful Kilimanjaro wristbands as congratulatory gifts. I wear the wrist band nearly every day and I cannot thank them enough for their thoughtfulness. Afterwards, I purchased numerous items for gifts from their selection of items and they were all big hits back home. Thanks again for your kindness and I am happy to have contributed to such a worthy cause.Written 24 July 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Serhan A2 contributionsDuring my four-day stay in Moshi I visited the city's major markets and many souvenir and book shops. Solomon, in his early 20s, was the only shop keeper that had fixed prices on the items sold in his shop, which, in fact, were more tourist friendly than elsewhere. Furthermore, he was very informative and helpful and last but not least candid: he showed which items were produced in Tanzania which were not, so that I could buy authentic souvenirs that were made in Tanzania. I discovered Sanaa Zetu by chance. Finding it is neither easy nor mission impossible. As you walk from the Clock Tower to Moshi Book Shop, on the right side of the road you will see the Arcade. Enter the Arcade and Solomon's souvenir shop will be on your right just a few steps ahead - next to a small book shop.Written 11 May 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Millie2 contributionsSuch a gorgeous gift shop! Everything is so beautiful presented and they clearly state prices so there are no surprises which makes the whole shopping experience much more enjoyable. The owners of Chuis are extremely lovely and couldn’t be more helpful. We have visited multiple times on our trip and couldn’t recommend more.Written 21 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- An H26 contributionsA bag cost like 250$!!! Beautifull but not worth at all! I am living here for two months, a piece of leather cost you like 25000 tsh, a fundi cost you another 25000 tsh to make it, in total a 25$. It seems like somebody wants to earn a lot of money on the heads of the locals.Written 26 August 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
