Arusha is a city in East Africa’s Tanzania, located at the base of volcanic Mt. Meru. It’s a gateway to the world-famous Northern Circuit of Tanzania’s safari destinations and to Africa’s highest peak, 5,895m Mt. Kilimanjaro, lying some 100 kilometers northeast. To the west lies Serengeti National Park.
Usually considered a gateway or stopover before starting your safari on the Northern Tanzanian safari circuit, guests stay for a night or two before departing for the Serengeti or Ngorongoro Crater.
Arusha, a true safari town, will undoubtedly form part of your itinerary when considering a safari in the Serengeti or Ngorongoro.
