Overview
Your journey starts here.
Set at the foot of Mount Meru, Arusha is the main gateway to Tanzania's northern safari circuit and the natural starting point for journeys toward Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti.
Unlike the national parks that surround it, Arusha is a lively city where everyday Tanzanian life meets the beginning of the safari experience. Its location places you close to Arusha National Park, Mount Meru and the major routes leading into northern Tanzania's wilderness.
Spend time exploring the city, meet local communities, discover coffee culture or simply settle into the rhythm of Tanzania before heading into the wild.
For many travellers, Arusha is more than a stopover.
It is where the journey begins.
