Arusha is a bustling, but still lovely town standing at the foothills of Mount Meru.
Arusha Coffee Lodge is just a ten minute drive from Arusha Airport.
Enjoy the beautiful swimming pool before…
…eating in the popular restaurant by the dining room’s fire.
Close to Kilimanjaro Airport is the Rivertrees Country Inn…
…a rural haven with a lovely sense of calm.
Another lovely option to stay in Arusha is Onsea House.
Onsea offers you probably one of the best views of the Mount Meru.
Twiga lodge, previously a family home, is very welcoming.
An alternative to staying on the outskirts of town, is to stay closer to Arusha National Park.
One of the best ways to explore the park is by 4WD; here you can see the famous fig tree.
The forests are also rich with primates such as these baboons.
Arusha national park has a reasonable population of plains game…
…but it's abundant with vegetation.
Enjoy the quirky and unique Hatari Lodge, located on the northern edge of Arusha National Park.
Its bedrooms are designed to follow a 1960s retro theme…
…just like the well stocked bar.
