Arusha City Tanzania

Arusha is located about 60 km from Kilimanjaro International Airport. This is the hub of the northern circuit safaris and most visitors to the country will spend a night or two here before departing on safari.

The town does have much to offer. The surrounds of Arusha are beautiful with great views of Mount Meru and on clear days you can see Mount Kilimanjaro.
The most active part of town is near the clock tower. This is the absolute center point between Cape Town and Cairo. Many local vendors offer their products for sale to tourists and some fantastic bargains can be found if you are prepared to haggle. Beware of tricksters though and don't exchange any cash with people on the street.

Arusha is famous for its curio shops selling handicrafts and gemstones. A variety of restaurants serve local and international cuisines.
