What To Expect When Visiting Arusha
Lying at the foot of Mount Meru, Africa’s fifth highest peak, Arusha stands in grace as rolling green farmland surrounds her and world-renowned safari parks are a few kilometers away. It is a bustling city in the country of Tanzania that is branded the Safari Capital and the major hub to the famous Northern Tanzania safari circuit. Enjoying temperate climate all year-round, Arusha is more than just a safari hub. Not only are there plenty of options for very good accommodations (often located on scenic coffee plantations and with views of Mount Meru), there are also a whole slew of activities you can do!
One popular must-visit in Arusha is the 137km² Arusha National Park just north of town. The park offers great safari experiences and features habitats ranging from open savannah to acacia scrublands, rainforest to alpine vegetation and also the golden Mount Meru. The wildlife in Arusha National Park is also incredibly diverse, with leopards and hyenas being the major predators in the area. Bird twitchers will also not get disappointed as the park is home to a world-class avifauna of 400 bird species.
Aside from the taste of authentic safari within the outskirts of town, Arusha also provides ample opportunities for cultural immersion, local villages tour, farms, markets and so much more!
When it comes to receiving an influx of tourists, Arusha holds a large influx every year. It has a domestic airport which provides direct flight link to Dar es Salaam and it is also very near Kilimanjaro International Airport, where most safari-bound travelers arrive. But, even though a lot of tourists often find themselves with a day or two to spare, Arusha always have something in store for them.
