About Arusha for Solo Travelers
East Africa's safari capital at the foot of Mount Meru — Arusha is where solo travelers land, plan, and launch themselves into Tanzania's extraordinary wilderness.
Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo
Arusha is the gateway to Kilimanjaro, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro — solo travelers base here to arrange safaris and treks. The city itself is not the point; use it efficiently to book your adventure and get on the road. Good safari operators for solo travelers include joining small group tours that already have other solo bookings. Negotiate firmly but fairly.
