This tour will take you inside the workings of the busy little town of Arusha. You have the opportunity to visit a school, church, local market and have a drink in a local pub. This will be one of the most interesting experiences of your trip to Tanzania.

Depending on the day of the week and where you are staying, you can visit Usa River (Thur & Sun), Tengeru (Wed & Sat) or Arusha Kilombero food & vegetable market (every day). Your Guide will tell you more about the process of local markets and help you to communicate with vendors.

There’s no better opportunity to get a feel for the Tanzanian way of life. Walk through the farms, schools, local shops and get to experience the fantastic hospitality of the locals, as well as the beautiful smiles of the many kids you will see on the way! Your Guide will have plenty to share about the daily life in the area.

Visit Mto Wa Mbu village for a great cultural experience with an experienced, English speaking Guide who grew up in the village. Visit local farms, food markets, rice paddies, Banana Beer Bar and local activities. Ideal to do on the way in or out of Manyara National Park.

People who don’t have time, energy or the ability to walk in the village, can do a village tour in a Tuk Tuk. Being light, small and easy to ride this vehicle is ideal to get between farms and local houses. A Tuk Tuk can carry up to 3 passengers on a bench seat behind a driver and a Guide. The sides of the vehicle are open so you can still have a great feeling of being outside and connected with the people and places. The village tour takes you to farms, local houses, schools, milling machines, churches and more.
