A very interesting...

A very interesting afternoon visiting off the beaten path locations and learning more about the history, politics and food in Tanzania. Recommend this tour if you want to see the real Arusha and how the locals live.

Discover a local community with locals!

Jackson and Given were great at showing me around the neighborhood, they shared lots of interesting information and were very helpful and friendly. I enjoyed the foodie treats along our walk and am grateful to them for showing me a side of Arusha that I wouldn’t have ventured on my own. They kindly helped me organize a taxi and waited for me whilst I did some last minute shopping at the market.
