Arusha City Landmarks and Maasai Market

This combi tour can be done any day during the daytime and will take you inside the workings of the busy town of Arusha. Take your time to discover the beauty of Arusha city, from the Clock Tower - the halfway point between Cairo in Egypt and Johannesburg in South Africa - to the Arusha Declaration Monument and Museum, the National Natural History Museum, and the Central Market, where you can learn about different African spices, vegetables, and fruits.

Continue to the overwhelming souvenir and craft market, where you will quickly learn how to negotiate. First, stroll through the market to find the best-quality products you like. You can bargain till you are out of breath, as the Tanzanians have mastered this art. What you find here ranges from wall hangings, baskets, kitchenware, safari boots and hats, T-shirts, beaded necklaces, textiles and cloth, soapstone carvings, and wooden sculptures to other products, mostly made from recycled materials by small entrepreneurs around the city villages.

If you don't have a vehicle, you can book a vehicle with us to Arusha City.
