Arusha is the safari capital of East Africa, a bustling, vibrant town with the streets filled with 4X4 game viewing vehicles criss-crossing the potholed roads. Maasai warriors in full regalia stroll the streets, mingling with tourists in crisp khaki, fresh off the plane from Europe or the United States.
Arusha is the kind of place where you can get a whiff of what modern Africa is all about. At the nearby International Conference Centre, some of the most important peace treaties and international agreements in modern African history have been signed. The Rwandan war crimes tribunals were held here, as have been several attempts to broker peace in the Great Lakes States. The curio markets crammed between the Clock Tower and India Road are filled with high quality crafts.
