Welcome to Arusha, Tanzania

It's time to begin your safari. Welcome to Tanzania!
After we greet you and provide you with the trip briefing, we'll take you out to help you discover why so many people think Tanzania is the best place in Africa to go on safari.

You'll spend some time in Arusha, where there's always something happening. The endlessly busy streets are a fascinating performance in their own right, but the city also has clamorous markets, excellent museums, and a fun food scene. Best of all, it's a window into local life that you just can't get out in the safari parks.
