Arusha: the safari capital of East
Africa. The small district of Arusha is the gateway to the
great game parks of the north and is the hub of Tanzania's
buoyant safari industry.
Nestling at the foot of Mount Meru, the town of Arusha is
the first stop on the northern safari circuit. Bustling and
vibrant, the streets are filled with 4X4 game viewing
vehicles criss-crossing the pot-holed roads. Masai warriors
in full regalia stroll around, mingling with tourists in
crisp khaki, fresh off the plane from Europe or the United
States
The Arusha National Park, lying between the peaks of
Kilimanjaro and Meru, is a small but beautiful park that has
an abundance of fauna and flora. Everywhere throughout the
Park there are chances to observe the natural world at its
own pace, to see different animals in their various habitats
and absorb something of the serenity of the surroundings.
Ascend the majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro and view the magnificent
Rift Valley.
