Northern Tanzania

A City Where Cultures Meet

Set beneath Mt. Meru in northern Tanzania, Arusha brings together a cool highland climate, green surroundings and a lively, multicultural community.

Arusha sits in northern Tanzania on the southern slopes of Mount Meru, at an elevation of 1,400 metres above sea level. One of the country's largest and fastest-growing cities, its metropolitan area is now home to well over half a million people.

It is a major international diplomatic hub and the headquarters of the East African Community (EAC), a genuinely multicultural city blending African, Arab, Indian and international communities.
