On an Arusha city tour, you will experience the vibrant chaos and the juxtaposition between colonial, traditional, and new. Visit the Cultural Heritage Centre for African Art, gemstone centres, or the Shanga Centre for disabled artists, where you will be amazed by glasswork, beadwork, jewellery and handmade clothing.

Arabica and Robusta coffee are Tanzania’s most significant exports, and coffee-making has been refined to perfection. Grown in Tanzania’s rich volcanic soil, coffee is the primary source of income for many Tanzanians, and a tour around one of the many outstanding plantations is well worth it.

All rooms open up to covered verandas, furnished with lounging chairs, overlooking the tropical gardens and grand views further afield, making them a perfect place to relax before or after a safari. Airy and well-lit, all the rooms have spacious en-suite bathrooms with complimentary toiletries and feature electric combination safes, hair dryers, ceiling fans, mosquito nets, a writing desk, and a comfortable sitting corner.
