Arusha is the safari capital of Tanzania and the gateway to the northern circuit. Nestled at the foot of Mount Meru and surrounded by coffee and banana plantations, it's a vibrant city where African culture, Maasai tradition, and international safari tourism meet.
Start your journey here with a Maasai cultural visit, coffee farm tour, or a walk through the colourful local markets. Arusha is also home to the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and has historically been a centre of East African diplomacy.
