Arusha is a small but busy Tanzanian city on the southern side of Mount Meru, close to the border of Kenya. It is the centre for wildlife tourism in Northern Tanzania, being the gateway to many of Tanzania’s premium safari parks and destinations, including the Serengeti, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Mt Kilimanjaro.

At 1400 metres, Arusha has a cool comfortable climate, with fertile forest soils that have historically supported expansive coffee plantations, many of which are still operational today. Arusha town is also the commercial centre for mining of Tanzanite, a precious stone only found in Tanzania, and said to be a thousand times rarer than diamonds.
