4 Days Walking with Hadza in Eyasi

 

Arusha Town is located at the foot of Mount Meru with a temperate climate throughout the year.  It was established in 1900 by the German colonialists as a garrison, and the headquarter of the former East African Community in 1967-1977. Its prominence has very much increased in recent years by becoming again the headquarter of the revived E.A.C and by hosting the International Tribunal, dealing with the Rwandan genocide.  Arusha is the tourists' gateway to Tanzania's major national parks and game reserves, such as Arusha National Park, Lake Manyara National Park Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro  Conservation Area, Tarangire and Mount Kilimanjaro.

The town takes the advantage of being located near the boarder with Kenya, and is well served by Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA is just about 30 minutes drive) and Arusha Airport. (there are daily Schedule domestic flights from Arusha Airport and Kilimanjaro Airport to Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar and Nairobi). Well served by shuttle buses from/to Nairobi, Dar es Salaam; and many other major towns in Tanzania.  The following shuttles go to Nairobi every day: IMPALA, DAVANU SHUTTLE, BOBBY SHUTTLE and RIVERSIDE SHUTTLE

This position has made it to be a starting point for safari in the northern tourist circuit (north-eastern Tanzania). Banking: there are several ATM Machine in the city to serve for VISA and Master Cards (cash in Tshs.)
