Arusha

The Safari Capital of Tanzania

About Arusha

Known as the gateway to the Northern Safari Circuit, Arusha is a bustling, green city nestled at the foot of Mount Meru. It is the starting point for almost every adventure to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Kilimanjaro.

Arusha is more than just a transit hub; it is a city of lush coffee plantations, vibrant Maasai markets, and a cool, high-altitude climate that provides a welcome break from the coastal heat. The city is famous for its Clock Tower, which marks the halfway point between Cairo and Cape Town, symbolizing its central role in African travel history.
