"Arusha" Arusha Region by untpsci

Arusha Region Travel Guide: 38 reviews and 88 photos

I have traveled to the Arusha region 5 times in the past two years and love it a little more each trip. Its funny now that I want to think of all of the things that I love about Arusha I smiling face,laughing children, nyma choma (local barbeque). In all honesty to me describing the beauty and wonderful experiences I had during my trip to Arusha is almost like trying to describe the images I saw dancing in the clouds as a child.
Jambo Makutti was my favorite hang, Linda (lovely British woman) had the best sense of humour. If you want to know where to go or know what's going on around town she is the person to asks.

What a wonderful comment, this should apply to all destinations and not only Arusha. I was in India for 6 months working and was often ashamed to be European.

Who! great tip. You not only told us to avoid the expensive hotel phone and dangerous pay phone, but also provided complete information on the co.s that offer alternatives, & their prices, thanks
