Great place to relax post safari.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Arusha is a beautiful city, lush green gardens, monkeys in the trees and some interesting things to see. It's a good place to base yourself for a safari or seeing Mt Meru. The touts can be a bit "in your face" but they're not threatening. Great cafes

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

A very busy city now. Still good people but lots of cars trucks and motorcycles compared to my last visit 31 years ago when I lived nearby.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Very little tourism infrastructure in town.
