Tanzania
Arusha
The town where northern-circuit safaris start. The hotel is a night. The operator is the trip.
Before you go
Best months. June to October for the dry parks. January and February are green, quieter, and still busy with departures.
What to choose first. Choose the operator first. Arusha hotels are for the night before the vehicle leaves, not the reason you came.
