Description
Arusha City Tour : Explore the lively city of Arusha with a full-day city tour. In a lovely mix of fun and culture, this tour takes you to the city’s most beautiful and interesting spots. Accompanied by a guide you visit a local market, a school, a church, a coffee plantation, and a floriculture plantation. Of course, a delicious Tanzanian lunch is included as well as a drink at a local pub to submerge yourself fully in the daily life and vibrant Tanzanian culture.
During your Arusha City Tour, you can discover the Tanzanite which is an extremely rare gemstone found only in the surroundings of Mount Kilimanjaro and Arusha is the center of artifact crafting. The Tanzanite Experience tour is a 1 to 8-hour tour that introduces the history of this magnificent mineral, including how it was discovered and first mined.
It also gives you the opportunity to see for yourself how each precious gem is graded and cut. Once you have a true appreciation of this gem, you can spoil yourself by purchasing a genuine, well-cut, and certified tanzanite piece at a different and fascinating boutique store that we will take you around Arusha town. This Tanzanite Experience tour will take you to different boutiques which are brimming with beautiful displays dedicated to the fascinating blue-violet gemstone.

There are some Bureaus de Change in Arusha clustered around the Clock Tower, and some ATMs in the city centre. It is a good idea to stop by these before your safari to take out some notes. There are not many other options during the Northern Circuit and it is good to have cash to buy souvenirs or tip drivers and guides.
Arusha is relatively safe for tourists, but it is wise not to wear too much jewellery. The risk increases at night, and we do not recommend walking the streets after dark. But in general, the city is known for its welcoming atmosphere, and the people are very pleased to have such a thriving tourism economy, meaning the locals treat tourists well. We recommend that you travel the city by taxi since dala dalas (small minibuses) and bajajis (tuk-tuks) are more dangerous. A taxi ride across town should not cost more than $2.50.
On the one hand, you must visit Arusha on any trip to Tanzania – this is the starting point for some of Tanzania’s most famous sites, including Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. So, should you stay more than one night in Arusha? There is certainly plenty to do in the town – from cultural programmes, to museums, to shopping to day trips – there is enough to spend at least two days. If you already have a full itinerary, including hiking, safaris, and beach work in Zanzibar, then perhaps it is best to only stay one night in one of Arusha’s attractive plantation guesthouses.
Arusha is known for being the safari capital of Tanzania, and a popular stopover for adventurers who are preparing for a Kilimanjaro trek.
No, you cannot see Kilimanjaro from Arusha. Mt Kilimanjaro is situated 82.6km away from Arusha.
