Arusha Highlights Guided Tour
Overview of your Arusha tour
Arusha is known as Tanzania's safari capital and the life in the city revolves around tourism. I started doing this tour because of my passion to give room for the visitors to understand a bit of the diversion of Tanzania's culture, a country with more the 120 tribes bounded by kiswahili language. This tour involves visiting Maasai market where clients will see different handcrafts produced by Maasai and other local people. What I love most about this experience is the cultural heritage site. This biggest African Art Gallery is amazing, it collects art across the continents. You can get all you need for the memory in Africa whether is bronze, carvings, paintings, antiques or jewelry. Also the tour includes Arusha Declaration Museum that tells you all about Tanzania history before and after independence. At Tanzanite Experience Museum you will get to understand the reality of Tanzanite gemstone since it was found in foothills of Mt Kilimanjaro about 60 km from Arusha.

Nelson did a great job of taking us to many of the sights in Arusha. In almost every location he also had individuals there to cover the specifics. We highly recommend him to anyone coming to Arusha, Tanzania.

We had a fantastic tour with Nelson! He was friendly, and very knowledgeable about Tanzania and East African history. Walking through the city of Arusha was like walking with a friend. Highlights were the local markets and visiting Sanaa. Great value!

We enjoyed our day with Nelson. He was a safe driver and definitely went out of his way to show us life in Arusha. One stop was at a market and Nelson had arranged for a local guide to take us through it...there is no better way to get the vibe of the city! Besides all the neatly placed fruits, vegetables, beans...we were amazed at how friendly the Tanzanian people were to us. It was truly an enjoyable day.
