Is Arusha Tanzania worth visiting?

Arusha is one of the best towns in East Africa for digital nomads. This place has many places to stay where you’ll find a variety of accommodation. While there are less expats than in Dar Es Salaam, Arusha is a smaller city with a slower pace of life than Tanzania's metropolis. 

Arusha offers much to keep you busy but is less costly and calmer than the main city. Crime is also much lower.  This city is also within a few hours from some of Tanzania's most famous attractions, such as the Serengeti National Park, Tarangire National Park, and Mount Kilimanjaro, to mention a few. 

Arusha has a young population, therefore most digital nomads will have little trouble making friends. If you have children, there are various international schools in Arusha where they may obtain a decent education. 

Even if you require surgery, health care in Arusha is quite reasonable. International hospitals provide the same services as hospitals in your native country. 

If you are planning to visit this peaceful city, you need to apply for a Tanzanian visa. Currently, you can apply for a visa online through their website. You won't have to spend a lot of time queuing at the embassy or waiting months to receive your visa. The online visa application procedure only takes about 3 days, in an emergency, it takes less than 24 hours.
