Foreword

This is First Edition of City of Arusha Fact Book has been produced by the support from Kundayo Lodges Limited, with

publication date of March 2015. Our long term plan is to publish “City of Arusha Fact Book” every year and also to be

able to provide information for the entire Region. By 2017 we plan to come up with four more editions; Arusha Region

Fact Book; Karatu District Fact Book; Monduli & Longido Districts Fact Book; and Meru District Fact Book. Of course,

each edition will share region-wide data but each District maintains its own independent interesting facts. The next

three to four years the publications of these Fact Books will be available online only; however, the expectations are to

have online publications along with the print outs. We believe by having these Fact Books, our company plays a small

but a vital role in the promotion of tourism for the whole of Arusha Region.

In the upcoming editions we will be working in providing more user-friendly information and more comprehensive in

scope. Your comments, suggestions or any other feedback you provide will be so much appreciated and they will be

very useful in improving future editions. On this First Edition large amount of information has been obtained from various secondary data which

includes public domains, print out materials, and field research. Please do not hesitate to send us your comments to

[email protected]. You can also LIKE us on Facebook, find us with the keyword “City of Arusha Fact Book.”

This publication would not have been successful without collaboration with Ms. Rachel Musson. I am filled with appreciation for all the

assistance I’ve received along the way to bring this First Edition into existence from her. You have done a lot, in editing. I’m truly grateful to

Jerry Dunstan for the brilliant photos you provided. Very special thanks from Professor John Yoder for your wonderful suggestions. And I really

value your contributions and your friendship to you all, Rachel and Jerry; we did a great work! I’m really looking forward to continue be

working with you in the future editions. Jerry with your solid work ethic coupled with your talented technical skills I really count on you in

bringing www.ArushaFactbook.com into existence. I’m very confident that you and the entire team at Greyfade are doing a fabulous job.

Sincerely, I’m very grateful to you David Marsh of Harwell, England, founder of www.nTZ.info, thank you very much for authorizing to make use

of photos of Arusha from “Marsh Family Collection” into this project. Personally, I would like to express my sincere and highest appreciation and

General Information

Brief History of the City of Arusha The history of the modern City of Arusha goes back to the late 1800’s when it was founded by German colonialists. Arusha (like the rest

of Tanganyika) was a territory within the control of German East Africa (Deutsch-Ostafrika). A garisson town, it was named after the

local tribe Wa-Arusha, known as Larusa by the Maasai.

In 1899 the Germans began construction of a strong fortification - a Boma, or German military fortress – which, armed with mounted

maxim machine guns, made a formidable stronghold. With its completion in 1901, colonial troops were garrisoned in Arusha under the

command of First Lieutenant Georg Küster, and Arusha remained under military rule until the general transfer to civilian administration

throughout German East Africa in 1906. Arusha quickly developed into a significant trading and administrative centre after 1903. The

adventurer John Boyes (during his visit in 1903) found Arusha to be a progressive town with about thirty Indian, Greek, and Arab shops

selling cloth, trinkets, soap, enameled plates and bowls, beads, and copper wire. One even had a sewing machine out front and

produced jackets and trousers for the German soldiers along what is today known as Boma Road.

Later in 1948 Arusha was declared a township and became a municipality in 1980. Thirty two years later after became a municipality it

was given city status on 31 October 2012.

Arusha has been crucial in the history of the modern Tanzania. Princess Margaret visited Arusha in 1956; official documents ceding

independence to Tanganyika were signed in Arusha in 1961 and seven years later the Arusha Declaration was signed here in 1967.

Population The total population of Arusha Region is 1,694,310 people; with about 739,640 living in the City of Arusha, Tanzania’s third most

populated city according to a 2012 Census.

Language There are many native languages spoken across the Arusha region such as Maa which is spoken by the Maasai and Larusa people;

however Swahili and English are the official languages of the country. Swahili is the national language and is mostly commonly

understood.

get to Arusha by road from somewhere else in Tanzania or from Kenya, there are three arterial routes leading into Arusha City:

The A-23 Arusha-Himo road runs east-west and enters the Arusha region close to Kilimanjaro International Airport. It links Arusha

with Moshi and then Himo at the Kenyan border- Taveta Border. A-23 also connects with B1 at Himo junction leads to Tanga, Dar

es Salaam as well to the central and southern parts of the country. This roads ends at its junction with the A-104 road in the center

of Arusha.

The A-104 runs northward, to the west of Mount Meru, from Arusha to Longido and Namanga at the Kenyan border before

continuing to Nairobi.

The A-104 also runs westward past Monduli to its junction at Makuyuni with the B-144 road that leads to Mto wa Mbu, Karatu, and

the Ngorongoro Area. After that, the A-104 curves southward to the east of Lake Manyara and continues on to Babati, Singida

and Dodoma before connects to the other roads networks in the central Tanzania.

In Arusha and whole of Tanzania the rule of the road is to drive on the left hand side of the road, and most cars are right hand vehicles.

wear seat belts; it is also against the law to drive while using hand held phones. It is also obligatory that all vehicles carry two red

Getting Around

Travelling by Bus There are numerous private bus companies operating daily in Arusha travelling to almost all major cities across East Africa- including

Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Mwanza, Kampala, Moshi and many other locations. Be careful when booking a bus ticket to choose

a company with a good reputation (recommended are the Kilimanjaro Express for city-to-city long distance routes and Riverside

Shuttle-for the cross-border routes). These recommended coaches maintain modern coaches, some with air-conditioning or on-board

toilets and run to fixed schedules.

Commuting Around the City Taxis (Cab): Taxis in Arusha are plentiful, safe and cheap; make sure to agree on a price before leaving for your destination

(expect to pay around Tzs 6,000 (US$ 3.75/-) for a trip within the city centre such as from Clock-Tower or Central Market to other nearby

places, or Tzs 20,000 (US$12.50/-) for the immediate outskirts, at any time of the day). During night hours the charges may be a slightly

higher. Expect a waiting charge to be applied after 20 – 30 minutes!

Car Hire: You can arrange to hire a car during your stay here in Arusha. A range of car hire companies operate within the city,

however most companies prefer to provide their own drivers for long distance driving outside the city. For all self-drive in Tanzania you

will need to have a valid International or Tanzanian driving license.

City Buses: To commute around the city centre and to the nearby suburbs of Arusha, you

can catch smaller minibuses, known locally as Dala-Dala; you can catch a Dala-Dala by simply

flagging them down from the side of the road. Often crowded and with the occasional

erratic driver, they are an easy and very affordable way to get around Arusha – with fares in

the city at 400 shillings (US$0.25/-). When boarding a Dala-dala please be aware that pick-

pocketing can happen to you (both visitors and locals) and so valuables should be stored

inside your backpack on kept securely on your lap. They are very cheap charging between

Tzs 400/- (US$0.25/-) for the main routes in town or Tzs 600/- (US$0.40/-) for routes going out

from city to the places such as Tengeru, USA-River, Nduruma, Ngaramtoni, Kikatiti, Maji-ya Chai,

and Kisongo



Getting Around

Boda-Boda Motorbike Taxi Taking a Boda-Boda (or motorcycle taxi) is a cheap, fast and effective way

to get around town, but can also be rather risky. For drivers and passengers

alike, taking boda-boda is sometimes a risk, but there are few alternatives

when heading to the villages. A top tip is to tell the driver to drive slowly and

carefully – this shows them that you’re not interested in them showing off

how fast they can drive!

Walking and Crossing the Roads The City of Arusha is very pleasant place to walk around with jacaranda

trees shaded most areas of it; almost throughout the year, the weather is

very pleasant. It is very pleasurable to walk around; a large number of

areas within the City Centre are having pedestrian pathways.

The City itself is very small with much of business and social activities clustered within ten kilometers radius of Clock Tower area. Many

sights of central area can be seen simply by walking around. Interestingly a quite sizeable population of Arushans enjoys walking whilst

carrying out their everyday life routines. In the Clock Tower (the heart of Arusha with historical significance to the City as well it is full of

commercial activities) for example, you can only need about four to do sightseeing without the need for taking any form of public

transport. In this area, if it is your first time here in City, you have great opportunity to walk around and see the German Boma Museum,

Maasai Craft and Art Market, the headquarters of East African Community, Arusha International Conference Centre, and the Clock

Tower itself which was built back in 1945 by Greek millionaire, Christos Galanos. Other attractions include the Themi River, the Arusha

School (then European School opened in 1934), the historic Arusha Hotel (which is believed to be one of the oldest hotels in East Africa)

built 1894, Arusha Lutheran Town Centre's Cathedral was built in early 1900 – (the second Lutheran Church to be built in Arusha, Christ

Church Arusha across the Themi River dated back in 1932, and plenty of other places.

Walking around give you a really close feel for the Arusha city and it is also a best way to mingle with the locals.



Getting Around

Walking and Crossing the Roads (Cont) Safety measures to take when walking around

Crossing of the Roads: It could be very challenging and somewhat risky to cross major roads or streets if you are not very

careful. The roads are sometimes crowded with motorcycles (Boda-Boda) and erratic motor-vehicles drivers.

Beforehand, absolutely make sure the road/street is clear before you would be crossing on the other side of the road.

Pick Pockets and Snatching Thieves: The tourists and locals alike are vulnerable with pick pockets, con artist and

bag/camera snatching thieves when walking in the streets of Arusha. Make sure you leave your valuables items at

home or in your hotel room. Do not create attention to lure thieves by wearing or carrying most expensive or most luxurious items. Other

precautions you should take are as follows:

Avoiding putting yourself into risky by walking at night; take a cab to stay safe!

Be like a local; don’t be fearfully but rather carefully – just act normal, Arusha is probably a very

safe place than your home city. Arushans are friendly and very hospitable people; anyone

can easily assist you with direction or even walking with you and asking for nothing in return.

Wear a money belt and don’t show off your bling-bling or your cash money to create

pointless attention.

Secure your personal belongings all the time whether staying in hotel or walking around;

create your own “Don’t Loose Discipline” by keeping and handling your belongings careful.

Most of the time tourists lose their items rather than them being stolen.

Don’t brawl with street thieves they can seriously harm you; nearly every one of them are

keeping knives; large screw-drivers and all other sorts of tools that they can use to hurt you. You

better “YELL VERY LOUD” to get assistant from other pedestrians once the thieves are several

meters away from you, locals are often ready to help and assist you in fighting or chasing them…



Attending Church in Arusha

The predominant religion in City of Arusha and of course of the entire Arusha Region is Christianity. There are very many Christian

congregations dotted all over the city and therefore whatever your faith, you can probably find a church service to meet your Christian

beliefs in Arusha. Almost all the churches use Swahili language in Sunday sermons/preaching, worshiping, children Sunday school, etc;

however, there are few ones carry out Sunday services in English. The one listed below are among the few ones with Sunday services in

English.

Arusha is very wonderful place for joggers due to its leafy streets, quiet roads, friendly people, and safe environs, but like any other major city across the world; Arusha has its fair share of criminal activity and questionable characters. Running any time during the day is very safe, avoid running when is still dark in the mornings. It is safe to jog after the sunrise and before the evening darkness. As we all know darkness makes crime more likely. It is recommended for you to always running in the pedestrian routes to avoid erratic drivers and speedy boda-boda riders. When jogging, you should stick to more visible areas or

populated areas where other people jog or walk.

Money

Banking, Foreign Exchange and Taxes The currency is the Tanzanian Shillings (abbreviated Tzs or Tshs). United States dollars are widely accepted in Arusha. It is advisable to

carry American dollars when entering Arusha, but please ensure that you only bring new currency notes as some banks in Tanzania

have been known to not accept foreign currency older than 2003. Tanzanian shillings are not available to purchase outside of the

country, but cash machines and money exchange bureaus are available at all international airports as well as the land borders. . Euros,

British Sterling pounds and Japanese Yen are also accepted and can be exchanged easily. Traveler’s cheques are exchangeable in

several places across town, and there are an abundance of cash machines dotted across the town accepting major credit cards:

VISA, MASTERCARD, EUROCARD, American Express, and Maestro. Credit cards are also accepted in major hotels, restaurants,

supermarkets and banks. You should expect the surcharge of 3.5% - 5% to apply when paying by card. It is advisable to carry a

minimum amount of cash when travelling in Arusha for daily essentials and shopping.

In Arusha foreign exchange facilities, or “Bureaux de Change”, are widely available and many can be found around Clock-

Tower area, in major tourist hotels, at the airports and well in other major shopping centers in town and in the outskirts of Arusha.

Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) are available in branches of major banks as well within major shopping centers across Arusha,

accepting most international bank and credit cards. Minimal add-on charges apply when withdrawing from ATMs using these

cards.

VAT: Tanzania has a Value Added Tax System of 18% on purchases and services, included in the price of all items and services for

the VAT Registered suppliers. Foreign visitors (especially tourists) can reclaim VAT on purchases of not less than Tzs 400,000

(US$250/-). This is only possible when removing goods (in their un-used form) from Tanzania to any other country as personally

accompanied baggage at the port of exit. This scheme is mainly aimed at (but not restricted to) tourists.



Shopping Tip: Tanzanite in Arusha While in City of Arusha take a stroll in the city centre to explore the multitude of Tanzanite jeweler specialists along the Goliondoi Road, around the Clock Tower shopping area and from the corner of Seth Benjamin Street and Swahili Street. Make sure you buy from the authorized Tanzanite stores!

Shopping

Tipping and Gratuities Tipping is not obligatory, but is usually expected as a sign of

appreciation of good service, particularly within lodges, bars

and restaurants. There are normally tip boxes in these places. Safari guides and porters depend on tipping for a large part of their

income, so be sure to bring extra cash for tipping your guides at the end of your safari. U. S. $ 10/- to US$15/- per day is a standard tip

when taking a safari and will be appreciated by a driver/guide and porter.

Arusha, much like all other major urban areas across the developing world, has many people who are in need, including street

children and beggars. The general opinion for tourists opposes giving street children money as it encourages a culture of

begging. However, like anywhere, gifts can be given as a true expression of friendship, appreciation or thanks. Trading T-shirts,

hats, or offering magazines to locals is not uncommon.

There are many NGOs working in Arusha; most of whom are working in positive ways to support the local community. If you would

like to get involved with an organization whilst you are staying in Tanzania, please be advised to do your homework. It does not

support anyone to simply “hand out money” on the street, or to give donations or support to projects which are not sustainable.

Make sure that any organization you are supporting is both positive for the community and the environment; and sustainable

(e.g. it has constant people on the ground, a long-term plan for development and a way to keep the project maintained for the

duration.)

Business and Shopping Hours Government institutions and other agencies are open from 8:00am until 3:00pm during the week. They are closed on Saturdays and

Sundays.

Most banks open at 8:30am and stay open until 4:00pm on weekdays, closing on Saturdays at 12.00pm. Banks are closed on

Sundays and during public holidays.

In Arusha most shops and businesses are open between 9:00am and 5:00pm on weekdays and on Saturdays until 01:00pm. They

are a few shops which close during the lunch hour – 01:00pm to 2:00pm

Shopping Centers in Arusha such as Njiro Complex, TFA Shopping Centre and others tend to stay open up to 9:00pm during the

week, at weekends and across most public holidays.

Most stores and restaurants are open on most public holidays but close down during Christmas Day, New Year and Easter

celebrations.



Shopping

to fruit and vegetables, herbs and spices, pots and pans, furnishings, electrical items, animals and more! There are two main markets in

Arusha:

Central Market: This market, located half way

down the main Sokoine road, has a wide

Tingatinga paintings and thousands of other

items. Moreover, the City is the main market for

precious stones from Mererani mines, where the

unique Tanzanite stones are extracted.

expect to pay the following prices (roughly) when buying fresh produce in the markets or from roadside venders:

Mangoes – In season you will pay around

Tzs 100 - 200/- (US$0.10/-) for a small

mango, up to Tzs 1000 (US$0.75) for a large

one

Bananas – abundant in this area, expect to

pay between Tzs 100 - 200/- (US$0.10/-) for

a banana

the markets are now stocking a wider

range of foods, but expect to pay much

more for these foods (around Tzs 2000

(US$1.50) each.



Food

Eating Out Tanzanian dining is eclectic and exciting. There are a wide range of places to eat in Arusha; from fine

continental dining in some of the larger hotels to a range of world foods (pizza, pasta, burgers etc.) in restaurants around town to

delicious local snacks in some of the markets. Everywhere serving drinks tends to serve food and you don’t need to go far to find some

delicious snacks, meals and exciting foods.

Some of the local dishes that are well worth a try are:

Chips Mayai - a chip omlette is the best way to describe this dish. It may sound calorific but it is utterly

delectable and will soon become a firm favorite on the menu. Expect to pay around Tzs 2000-3000 ($1.50)

for a serving.

Wali na Maharage – rice and beans – another firm favorite on the menu, and available for around Tzs 1000-

2000 ($0.75-$1.50)

Ugali – a staple of the Tanzanian diet, this maize-flour porridge is served with beans, vegetables or a

selection of meat and is a great way to fill up.

Nyama choma – barbequed meat! One of the best snacks or meals around, a good meal of nyama and

chips or ugali will cost around Tzs 3000 ($2)

Ndizi – these fried bananas are a must try when eating out in Tanzania. Eat them with a touch of salt and

some pili pili sauce. You can normally buy three for around Tzs 1000 ($0.75)

Mandazi – donuts! These delicious treats are best served hot from the pan (try breakfast time for the most

delicious selection) and can be found in most cafes and restaurants, as well as in markets and from road-

side vendors. Expect to pay around Tzs 500 ($0.50) for one or two

Chapatti – another firm favorite on the breakfast menu, hot chapattis with chai (tea) are a great way to

start the day. Like mandazi, expect to find these treats everywhere during the mornings, for a similar price

(Tzs 500 to1500) for one.

There are abundant fruits to purchase from snack-sellers, and in markets, as well as boiled eggs, nuts and

mahindi (hot maize, or corn-on-the cob) – delicious with some chili salt and lime, and a great snack for just

Tzs 500 ($0.50) from many road-side mamas.



What to Do in Arusha?



Health and Safety

When on holiday, volunteering or visiting any major city around the world, visitors should take certain health

and safety precautions and Arusha is no any different. Tanzania generally is a very safe country, but do not

invite temptation. To make your visit as safe and enjoyable as possible, here are a few top tips:

Health Tips The quality of the food in Arusha is excellent; however, you should always avoid unclean food and water (the main causes of

travelers' diarrhea and other diseases). Reduce your risk by sticking to safe food and reliable water sources – either filtered, boiled

or bottled. Be aware that the best food is often that which is cooked fresh – make sure, if you eat in a big hotel, that food is being

cooked fresh. Road-side vendors tend to cook food in front of you, so you can guarantee its freshness.

You should consult your physician or medical specialist about individual medical requirements before your trip. Find out from your

doctor which vaccines and medicines you require when visiting Arusha. Several vaccinations are highly recommended when

traveling to Arusha and other parts of Tanzania including Yellow Fever, Typhoid, Hepatitis A and Diphtheria

Typhoid is spread through contaminated food or water in Tanzania; therefore, it is advisable to use bottled, filtered or boiled

water for drinking.

Hepatitis A is spread through contaminated food or water therefore, it is advisable to use bottled, filtered or boiled water for

drinking

The government of Tanzania requires proof of yellow fever vaccination upon arrival if you are traveling from a country with risk of

yellow fever, although the country is getting strict on this policy, and many foreign visitors are required to have a certificate even

if Yellow Fever is not prevalent in their country. It has now become mandatory for everyone.

For protection against ticks and mosquitoes use a repellent that contains 20% or more DEET for protection that lasts up to several

hours. Most hotels and guest houses provide mosquito nets for protection at night. It may be advisable to bring your own net if

you plan on staying in the villages or highlands.

Malaria: Make sure your doctor or travel clinic knows you are traveling to Tanzania so he can prescribe the right anti-malarial

medication. Whilst areas of high altitude (like most parts of Arusha) are relatively malaria-free, you will find yourself often passing

through areas where malaria is prevalent in order to get to your destination.

There are some excellent health-facilities available in Arusha to treat basic ailments. Advanced medical facilities are limited, but

for advanced medical treatment Nairobi is only four hours away from Arusha where you can find world-class medical facilities.

You are advised to have adequate coverage travel insurance. Your Travel Insurance should cover for loss of baggage or

valuables, personal, accident, emergency evacuation, and medical expenses.



Health and Safety

Security Tips

Arusha is generally is a safe place, but do not invite temptations, the best safety measures are the ones you perform as a matter

of common sense and habit. Do not walk around the streets with your valuables on show – keep large cameras, wallets and

expensive jewellery inside your bag or out of sight.

Don't take risks riding boda-bodas who may be driving too fast or dangerously. Don’t get unknown taxis on the street. Get a legit

taxi from a taxi rank or hub near a hotel or restaurant. Make a list of legitimate car and taxi services for yourself. Never get into a

taxi which has more than one person inside, regardless of their reasoning.

Seek the advice of your hosts or locals on where to go after dark. Don't walk alone at night, always take a taxi. When in doubt of

your destination or the safety of a neighborhood, always take a cab, especially late at night.

Most hotels have free safes – use them and keep valuables and money out of sight. When carrying valuables with you - money,

tickets, passports and bank cards - use a money belt hidden under your clothes. Carrying a photocopy of your passport to keep

separate from the original is highly recommended!

Arushan are very hospitable, cheerful, and friendly people and will be happy to help you if you are lost or in need of aid.

However, be skeptical of people approaching you with unlikely or tear-jerking stories, even if they can back it up with facts,

documentation, etc. These are expert scammers and they prepare their stories well!

Street Hawkers: This is more of a warning than a danger, but expects very persistent hawkers in Arusha trying to sell to you

paintings, souvenirs and other things. If you are not interested in buying, simply politely ignore them and continue on with your

business. The most persistent hawkers are located around the Clock Tower area of town, as well in other central parts of the city.

Always pay close attention to your surroundings before and whilst using an ATM. Do not allow strangers to assist in any way at

ATMs. Use machines during the day time; recommended are those that are guarded or those either insider our outside banks and

shopping centers.
