A local’s Arusha
Arusha is the gateway to Tanzania’s northern safari circuit, and a lively, colourful city in its own right. With a local guide you’ll wander the central market among spices, fruit and fabrics, browse the Maasai market for beadwork, carvings and Tingatinga paintings, visit a gallery of East African art and stop for a cup of Tanzanian coffee. Your guide helps you shop with confidence and find fair prices.
