Soweto is a residential area of Moshi with many small local shops to meet essential day to day needs. Within easy reach of the bustle of Moshi Town, there are a number local transport options however the Homestay does have its own car available by arrangement. Families enjoy a safe, quality life style around the homestay neighbourhood, and the sounds of wtoto (children) playing are always present. Soweto of old, was the central location for wealthier business men to live within reach of their factories and warehouses, many of which are still located nearby attracting some passing light industrial traffic seeking a quick route! Local transport by Boda Boda, or Bajaji is available 100 metres from the Home Stay door if you chose. For those requiring reliable drivers, we can assist with contacts for Boda Boda, Bajaji or car pickup service at reasonable prices, but slightly higher than the bikes or bajajis. The Lion King Homestay also has a reliable well maintained care to seat 5 ppl by arrangement, pending availability. In town, the local dalla dalla (mini bus) service is always running, but dallas do not run to Soweto.
