This is a popular day trip, requiring only some three hours and little or no transport. Those interested to see the main features of Arusha will begin somewhere around the Clock Tower, on foot, with one of our guides and will usually begin walking northwards in an anti-clockwise direction, taking in such sites at the Natural History Museum, various monuments celebrating independence, the local market, and some craft shops. A town tour typically takes some 2-3 hours and covers around 4 km.

Tours are completed on foot with one of our guides. The cost is USD 20 per person with climbers buying their own food and drinks along the route, as required. Tips to the guide on this town tour are entirely at the climber's discretion but tend to be around USD 10 per climber for smaller groups, and USD 5 per climber for larger groups. For climbers staying at hotels out of town, an additional vehicle transfer cost is payable.

Those staying at hotels close to town can either do the whole tour on foot (around 13km of walking), or can enjoy vehicle support (USD 26 per car) to transfer them from place to place along the route.
