Arusha Holidays


africa
Surrounded by lush green countryside and coffee plantations, the sprawling city of Arusha is the gateway to the Serengeti and northern Tanzania’s other national parks.

Located at an altitude of 1,300m and set in the foothills of towering Mount Meru, Africa’s fifth highest mountain, the city enjoys a temperate year round climate and an impressive mountain backdrop. Best known as the gateway to the northern Tanzania 'safari circuit', this colourful city also offers some hidden charms for those with time to explore.

Trailfinders offers a range of Arusha holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to find out about our selection of day tours in Arusha or are simply looking for advice on the best hotel to stay in – they are the perfect people to ask.
