With a captivating past stretching back to the Maasai settlers of the 1830s, Arusha has grown into Tanzania's diplomatic heart, housing the African Court of the African Union and other intergovernmental institutions. The city enjoys a temperate climate thanks to its location in the Great Rift Valley, with lush landscapes complementing its multicultural inhabitants, which include indigenous African, Arab-Tanzanian, and Indian-Tanzanian communities.

Arusha serves as a prime launching pad for excursions to iconic attractions such as the Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Manyara National Park, Olduvai Gorge, and, of course, the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro. The city's rich culture is evident in its festivals, like the Arusha African Film Festival, and the National Natural History Museum, which offers fascinating insights into the region's flora, fauna, and history.

When to visit Arusha

Experience the best of Arusha from June to October, when wildlife sightings abound and pleasantly warm weather prevails. Arusha National Park offers prime wildlife viewing all year round, but the dry season presents a not-to-be-missed spectacle of nature. For birdwatching enthusiasts, the wet season between November and May paints the city in lush hues, while December to February's clear skies make for awe-inspiring views of Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro.

With a range of private tour companies like Shemeji Safari Tanzania and Sunday Safaris offering excursions to suit various budgets and preferences, there has never been a better time to immerse yourself in the magic of Arusha.
