Workation in Arusha: the essentials
Safari trucks set off from Arusha for the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire, and that trade shapes much of the city, which lies inland below Mount Meru on the edge of the Great Rift Valley. It is also more diplomatic than most visitors expect, as headquarters of the East African Community and seat of the African Court. About 600,000 people live here, the altitude keeps the air relatively mild, and there is some coworking in town. Arusha Airport, about 6 km out, handles mostly domestic and safari flights, while long-haul arrivals use Kilimanjaro International to the east. Daytime traffic on the main road through the centre can be slow.
