The gateway to safari country and a jumping-off point for Kilimanjaro, Arusha is a bustling town in the north of Tanzania. It’s a convenient place to stock up on supplies and get your bearings before heading into the bush, and there’s plenty to keep you occupied in town, too. The markets are a great place to find souvenirs, and there are plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. If you’re looking for a bit of culture, visit the Arusha National Museum, which has a good collection of art and artefacts from the region. Or take a walk in the gardens of the nearby coffee plantation, where you can learn about the production of one of Tanzania’s most important exports.
