Day 2 | 7 January 2028
Leisure day in Arusha to relax after your international flight. Known affectionately as the "Geneva of Africa," Arusha is much more than a simple stopover, it is characterized by a vibrant city llfe, where downtown is a busy, colorful mix of old colonial buildings, chaotic traffic, modern conveniences, and bustling local markets. It’s also surrounded by the fertile volcanic landscapes of the Great Rift Valley and sits near stunning naturall areas like Lake Duluti and Arusha National Park, where you can do walking safaris or hike waterfalls. Arusha is surprisingly Cosmopolitan & Green, boasting a range of restaurants and coffee shops.
