Arusha is located in the north of Tanzania, and is perfectly positioned for all Northern Circuit parks, making it the safari capital of Tanzania.
Arusha is the capital of the Arusha Region, located in the north of Tanzania. This city is located on a plateau in the Great Rift Valley amidst the Serengeti Plains, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Oludvai Gorge, Tarangire National Park and Mount Kilimanjaro National Park. It’s a breathtaking city with beautiful natural surroundings and very friendly local people.
Located at the base of Mt. Meru, Arusha is a gateway to many safari destinations on the northern safari circuit as well as Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. For this reason, Arusha is a logical starting point for many adventures. Arusha, with its population of around 400,000, is a bustling city which, whilst not an attractive city, is filled with culture and life.
Arusha is part of a wider selection of TANZANIA holidays and accommodation.
