Arusha Hotels
Welcome to Arusha, Tanzania
Arusha is Tanzania’s gateway to the northern circuit of stellar national parks and the starting point of many a memorable safari. It’s also a large, sprawling city with all the contradictions that brings.
The town offers a nice break from the rigours of life on the African road – it has excellent places to stay and eat and, for the most part, it’s lush and green and enjoys a temperate climate throughout the year, thanks to its altitude (about 1300m) and its location near the foot of Mt Meru.
As the safari capital of northern Tanzania, though, Arusha is also where you’re most likely to encounter touts offering safaris, souvenirs and all manner of deals, some genuine, many of them not. Their main haunts are the bus stations and along Boma Rd. The city’s downtown area and the main road towards Dodoma are noisy and packed with people and traffic.
