Celebrating World Cities Day: Nairobi & Arusha – Gateways to East Africa’s Wonders
On this World Cities Day, we take a moment to celebrate the vibrant cities that serve as gateways to Africa’s most iconic safari and cultural experiences. For travellers exploring East Africa, Nairobi in Kenya and Arusha in Tanzania are more than just urban centres – they are starting points for unforgettable journeys into nature, wildlife, and local culture.
Nairobi – Kenya’s Bustling Capital
As the largest city between Johannesburg and Cairo, Nairobi is a city of contrasts: bustling, lively, and full of energy, yet offering tranquil suburbs with world-class accommodations and fine dining. Nairobi’s international connectivity makes it the natural entry point to Kenya’s safari destinations, and its diverse attractions provide the perfect introduction to East Africa for discerning travellers.
Arusha – Tanzania’s Safari Hub
Nestled at the foot of Mount Meru, Arusha is the gateway to some of Tanzania’s most renowned natural wonders, including the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and Mount Kilimanjaro. Known as Tanzania’s safari capital, Arusha is a vibrant city offering cultural tours, wildlife experiences, and even coffee tastings, making it an essential stop for travellers seeking both adventure and relaxation.
