Arusha

Nestled between the peaks of Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru lies Arusha Town. Next door to Kilimanjaro International Airport, the little town of Arusha is the gateway to your safari and the perfect introduction to the gracious personality of Tanzania. Shopping, cultural interactions, hiking, and sightseeing opportunities abound here. Arusha is the launch pad and closure point for a safari in Tanzania, and thus the place where one's safari adventures both begin and end.
