Arusha

I lived in Arusha for a few months in 2007 at the YWAM base there off Kibaoni! I loved downtown Arusha! I would recommend McMoody’s or Steers if you’re looking for good food especially McMoody’s! McMoody’s also has an internet cafe where the internet runs pretty fast. If you’re a volunteer you get a deal on internet usage which is nice-seeing as how I was a poor missionary. The Masai market is also worth checking out for souviners and stuff, also if you’re looking for some bootlegged movies I know of someone that will give you a great deal, just ask and i’ll tell you how to find him! I miss good old arusha-town and the people!

when i visited, i was lucky enough to be able to sit in on the rwanda genocide tribunals. it was incredible to be a part of something as historical as that.

Nicer climate than along the coast. Close to the big mountains. Nice accommodations at many price ranges.

Safari!

it’s an interesting place to visit to see how the Rwandan War Crimes Tribunal has affected the local economy. go on your way to safari or to climb kilimanjaro, but don’t bother staying longer than a couple of days.
