Now that the giant airbuses fly into Kilimanjaro Airport, Arusha is becoming a most accessible gateway to the game parks (Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Tarangire, as well as the Ngorongoro Crater).
If your safari doesn't start in neighboring Kenya, it will most likely start in Arusha. The city (pop. 150,000) doesn't have many attractions of its own, but it sits in a pleasant, lush valley.
Divided by the Naura River and set near the base of 15,000-ft/4,575-m Mt. Meru, Arusha is also in sight of Mt. Kilimanjaro (both mountains are frequently hidden by clouds, especially late in the day). more
