Overview
Location
Arusha is a city in north-eastern Tanzania, located below Mount Meru on the eastern edge of the eastern branch of the Great Rift Valley. Arusha Region is a tourist destination and is the center of the northern Tanzania safari circuit. The City is the Gateway to the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Manyara National Park, Olduvai Gorge, Tarangire National Park, Mount Kilimanjaro and Arusha National Park on Mount Meru.
Arusha is served by two airports: the Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) for international air travellers which is a 50 minute drive from Gran Meliá Arusha. Arusha Airport (ARK) is a regional air hub in the west of the city and it’s a 20 minute drive from the hotel. Despite its proximity to the equator, Arusha’s elevation of 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) on the southern slopes of Mount Meru keeps temperatures relatively moderate and alleviates humidity. Cool dry air is prevalent for much of the year.
