Getting there

Car Rental

If you are starting from Arusha, rent a car and drive towards the direction of Moshi. Take the A104 road, which is well-marked. After approximately 45 km, take a left turn onto the road leading to Cheetah's Rock, following signs towards the attraction. The journey should take about 1 hour, depending on traffic. Ensure you have GPS or a map, as rural areas may lack proper signage.

Public Transport (Matatu)

From Arusha, head to the main bus station, and look for a 'Matatu' (shared taxi) heading to Moshi. The fare is usually around 3,000 TZS. Once in Moshi, you may need to take a local taxi or find another Matatu to take you closer to Cheetah's Rock. Confirm with the driver if they can drop you off at the entrance or request a taxi for the last part of the journey, which may cost around 10,000 to 15,000 TZS.

Taxi

If you prefer a direct route, hire a taxi from either Arusha or Moshi. Expect to pay around 50,000 to 80,000 TZS from Moshi, depending on your negotiation skills. The driver should know the location of Cheetah's Rock, but provide them with the coordinates (latitude: -6.0617458, longitude: 39.2069274) for accuracy.

Guided Tour

Consider booking a guided tour that includes transportation. Many local operators offer packages that include pickup from your hotel in Arusha or Moshi, a visit to Cheetah's Rock, and return. Prices vary, but expect to pay around 100,000 to 150,000 TZS per person, which includes entrance fees and a guided experience.
