Arusha

The safari capital, and where almost every northern circuit begins.

Overview

Arusha sits below Mount Meru and functions as the operational base for the northern safari circuit. Most operators, vehicle fleets and guides are headquartered here, and Kilimanjaro International Airport is 50 kilometres away. Arusha National Park itself is underrated — walking safaris, giraffe, colobus and the Momella lakes, all within an hour of town.
