Exploring Arusha with Grifton

Nicole_W, Mar 2025

I only had one day in Arusha, so I booked this experience. It was a great tour from start to finish. When I arrived at my hotel, Grifton, our tour guide, was already there waiting and ready to start the tour. I enjoyed shopping at the Cultural Heritage Centre, leaning about and supporting the artists at the Shanga and Shanga Foundation, exploring a spice farm (which was surprisingly interesting and fun), and driving up to the waterfall area where Griffon prepared a picnic snack. Grifton is so personable, accommodating, knowledgeable, and fun. I had a great day in Arusha!!!
