What is Arusha like?
Lying at the foot of the beautiful Mount Meru, the area of Arusha is cool and green. Being the main country tourist portal, it is a gateway to the Serengeti, Ngorogoro, Manyara, Tarangire, Arusha and Kilimanjaro National Parks. It is also a place where many NGOs are based due to its western-like cold weather. Arusha is also the world only producer of Tanzanite germ which found in Mirerani area, about 60KM east-south of Arusha town. Being a mining area, tourist center and other economic activities, it is a fast growing town which contains severe poverty populated areas lying close to more developed western-like areas. The tradition and culture sensitivity is high especially, Maasai in their traditional dresses.
