Being directly in the center of Africa's tourism, Arusha is surrounded by the most interesting cultural, geographical and of course biological features of East Africa. International airports are in Nairobi (Kenya), Kilimanjaro and Dar es Salaam and it has not to be forgotten that Arusha has an international airport. |

|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Certainly the biggest attraction as well as a tremendous challenge the slopes of Arusha have to offer: Mount Meru! With 4565 meters it is the second highest summit of the country and due to it's steep slopes the peak is much more difficult to climb than the Kilimandjaro which is only 44 kilometers East. The last erruption of this volcano was in 1910 and you need not have any concerns! |
