An Arusha City Walking Tour is the perfect way to experience the heart and character of Tanzania’s safari capital. Instead of driving past the city’s highlights, this tour takes you through the streets, markets, cafés, and cultural corners of Arusha—giving you an authentic feel for everyday life.
You’ll meet friendly locals, taste fresh fruits, explore colorful markets, walk through historic sites, and enjoy the relaxed rhythm that makes Arusha one of the most welcoming cities in East Africa.
Everyday Safaris arranges guided walking tours with knowledgeable local guides who know the city’s history, hidden gems, and safe, interesting routes. It’s a refreshing and memorable way to start or end your safari.
A lively fresh-food market full of fruits, vegetables, spices, flowers, and everyday goods. You’ll see how locals shop, talk to vendors, and sample fresh seasonal fruit.
A colorful open-air market filled with Maasai jewelry, carvings, paintings, fabrics, handmade souvenirs, and traditional art. A great place to meet artisans and learn the stories behind their crafts.
One of Arusha’s most iconic landmarks, believed by locals to be the midpoint between Cape Town and Cairo. It’s a great place for photos and short historical stories.
Arusha has a growing café scene. Stop for a cup of freshly brewed Tanzanian coffee—rich, aromatic, and locally grown in the surrounding highlands.
Walk through areas showcasing Tanzanian art and craftsmanship. You’ll find everything from carvings to paintings and gemstones.
Your guide may take you through smaller streets and alleys where daily life happens: barbershops, local mini-markets, old colonial buildings, tailor shops, and neighborhood hangouts.
Try fresh fruits, roasted maize, chapati, samosas, sugarcane juice, or other small local treats depending on your comfort level.
Arusha has small parks and hidden quiet spots perfect for short breaks, people-watching, and photography.
