Destination Guide

Arusha should be treated as the practical starting point for Northern Tanzania rather than only an arrival city. It connects well to Arusha National Park, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, coffee farms, Lake Duluti, local markets, Maasai cultural stops and airport/hotel transfers.

Things to Do

  • Arusha National Park safari
  • Tarangire day safari
  • Lake Manyara day safari
  • Ngorongoro long day trip
  • Lake Duluti canoeing
  • Arusha city walk
  • Coffee farm visit
  • Maasai cultural visit

How to get there

Fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport for international arrivals or Arusha Airport for domestic safari links. Most day trips start from Arusha hotels between 6:00 and 8:30 depending on distance.

Where to stay

Best hotel bases: Arusha town hotels for easy logistics, Usa River and Mount Meru area lodges for quieter stays, or airport-area hotels for late arrivals. Recommend one night before safari for guests arriving from overseas.
