Arusha Attractions

Arusha is located at the foot of Mount Meru and is at an altitude of 1300 meters above sea level. Built by the Germans in the late 19th C, Arusha became the center of colonial administration.

Arusha is the gateway to the Serengeti and other northern parks. Because of its location, it is the starting point for many safaris. The town of Arusha is one of the fastest growing cities in East Africa and it has become more prominent due to the presence of the East African Community Headquarters and by hosting the Rwandan War Crimes Tribunal.
