      Chapter 1 – The Tourists Cities

      Arusha

      Despite being tagged as Tanzania’s ‘Safari’s Capital’, it is often overlooked (unfairly, in my opinion) in favour of it’s better known and more glamorous neighbours, Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Conservation area.

      However, Arusha offers Tourists a wealth of cultural experiences, ranging from safaris in the National Park to taking hikes on Mount Meru and a tour for Tanzanite and much more.

      Arusha town has a population of 3.5 million. It origins began as a German settlement on the Boma Road built by Maasai labour. The planting of sisal tea and coffee thrived and the city flourished and became known as the Geneva of Africa. It is also home to the International Human Rights Tribunal.

      Kilimanjaro’s airport of Bouder is also located nearby and serves both local and international flyers, making gems like the Island of Zanzibar and remote safari camps just a plane ride away.

      Agriculture and tourism are the two main pillars of Arusha's economy. You can tour of the coffee plantation, take Tanzania cookery courses, and attend workshops in drum making and batik providing an insight into local life.

      Home to the famous Maasai Warriors with their red ‘Shukas’, decorated (beaded jewellery) spears and their nomadic warrior traditions. You can attend guided tours whereby they open up their village for inspection for anything from half a day to three days. During this time, you can walk through the forest gathering plants with a traditional healer, make cheese and Ugali (dish of flour cooked with water to a dough like consistency) with the women, learn their traditional songs and soak up their pastoral lifestyle.

      If you enjoy souvenir shopping, Arusha is a noted craft centre. The cultural heritage centre in the town boast an array of superb the Makonde (Tribe) carvings, gorgeous tingatinga paintings, gifts and curios. If you want more exclusive gifts, Arusha is about the best place to buy Tanzanite (a brilliant blue gemstone found in the hills surrounding Arusha and Moshi). The gem stone is used by the Maasai to celebrate birth and gained international prominence after Tanzanite was featured in the movie ‘Titanic’ as the centre jewel in the ‘Heart of the Ocean’ necklace.

      Finally, at night, a relaxed atmosphere descends on Arusha with Jazz, Salsa and local hip hop ‘traditional’ music and full moon parties in the bush. Dinner is covered through a variety of restaurants, offering Swahili, Indian and international cuisine. So if been on Safari or Mountain climbing, Arusha is definitely well worth a visit.

      Chapter 23--

      Dar es Saalam

      Dar es Saalam translates as the ‘harbour of peace’. The name was bestowed on the city during the time of Sultan Seyyid Majid, whom chose the sleeping fishing village of Zaramo to have his summer palace, Bandur. The village thrived on ivory and slaves, transforming over time into a bustling city, which became known as Dar es Salaam.

      The city is a hotchpotch of cultural and religious influences. The Arabs, Indians, Germans and British have all contributed to Architecture, whilst Seiks, Muslims, Hindus and Christian co-exist peacefully with the willing of the Azan blending into the sound of church bells in the morning.

      In the city of Kariakoo, in the bustling market, Chinese electronics sit side by side with Chickens, cheerful tingating paintings are stacked next to
