A Lush Oasis Before the Wild

Arusha is more than just a transit point. As the functional capital of the East African Community, it is a bustling hub of culture, trade, and coffee horticulture.

Framed by the majestic peak of Mount Meru, the city remains remarkably green. From the sprawling coffee estates on its outskirts to the hidden trails of Arusha National Park, it offers a sophisticated introduction to the Tanzanian landscape before you venture into the deep savannahs of the Serengeti or Ngorongoro.
