There’s a lot to see and do in this vibrant city. Among Arusha’s attractions are the clock tower, Bishop’s Cathedral, the National Natural History Museum, the Maasai Market, and the Cultural Heritage Centre. A stop at Shanga, a social enterprise in which people with disabilities are employed to create gorgeous jewellery and other items, is possible too.
Home to elephant, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, warthog, bushbuck, warthog, monkeys, flamingo, and much more besides, this national park lies just 25 kilometres east of Arusha.
Duluti is a volcanic crater lake on the eastern branch of the Great Rift Valley. This is a very scenic area, 14 kilometres from Arusha’s city centre.
Finally, a day room is available, a popular option for guests booked onto KIA’s evening flight.
