About Arusha
Arusha is the capital of the Arusha Region, located in the north of Tanzania. It has a population of 270,485 (2002 census). This city is located on a plateau in the Great Rift Valley amidst the Serengeti Plain, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Olduvai Gorge, Tarangire National Park, and Mount Kilimanjaro National Park.

Geography and climate
Arusha is located by the foot of Mount Meru.

Yearly, the temperature ranges from 13 degrees Celsius to 30 degrees Celsius, and the seasons between wet and dry seasons. Due to Arusha's altitude, dry air is prevalent.

Arusha experiences an eastern prevailing wind from the Indian ocean, a couple of hundred miles east.

Modern history
Official documents ceding independence to Tanzania were signed by the United Kingdom at Arusha in 1961.

The Arusha Declarations for Self Reliance in Tanzania were signed in 1967 in Arusha.

The Arusha Accords were signed at Arusha on August 4, 1993, by representatives of competing factions in the Rwandan civil war.

In 1994 the UN security council decided by its Resolution 955 of 8 November 1994 that Arusha should host the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. The establishment of the tribunal with its employees has influenced the local economy of Arusha. The tribunal is expected to end its normal work in 2008 with two more subsequent years for appeals handling.

Arusha officially became a city on 1st July 2006

Arusha is East Africa's version of Abuja. (Its the proposed capital city of the East African Federation and a good number of building projects are taking place to ensure that it handles its future role in the region.)

The best thing about the city is its location. Its in the most economically productive region of Tanzania. Its also only 3 to 4 hours away from Nairobi (the main economic hub of the region) and on top of that, it has some of the highest elevations (Mt Meru and Kilimanjaro-though its a bit farther away) and very beautiful landscapes. It is the mini switzerland of East Africa IMO. This obviously means alot of tourist potential and Arusha is clearly capitalizing on this.:)

The setting is absolutely awesome and the city looks nice to me but someone said it is like Abuja, no way! Both cities are incomparable! It had cost BILLIONS of US Dollars to build Abuja and it will continue to swallow up more $ billions in the coming years! Arusha is certainly not like Abuja!

^^
I meant Arusha and Abuja are similar on the basis that they are (or will be in the case of Arusha) new capitals built to serve an administrative purpose in a certain region. Though you obviously can't compare the two in terms of financial investments and the fact that Abuja was created from scratch.

hahah Abuja is beautiful though i see Arusha being a very modern city especially in Tourism and Entertainment sector considering a number of World class Hotels and casino and jewerly complexes coming up! Interesting all investments are coming from private sector! unlike Abuja government set funds for the city

You are right Geza Ulole. Arusha is developing through private sector being a tourist hub. Just last week a 4 star 154 bedroom opened. the famous mount meru hotel. Kempinski is on its way in 2 years time will open its own 77 hotel. Plans are also underway to build Movenpick hotel on the outskirts of Arusha. NSSF are currently constructing 15 storey and PPf are planning to put a similar structure near Kibo hotel.The New East African Community HQ is also underconstruction.

Great to hear such developments in our cities, Is there any plan to rehabilitate arusha roads? am sure arusha will completely change and look more beutiful if the roads will get built. Tanzan can u post the pics of those buildings how they gonna look when finished?

Arusha needs wide roads. I don't know of any plans to rehabilitate roads there.

At the moment I have not seen the pics of the buildings...but will definately share when i get them.

Nice city, :cheers:. I'd like to visit soon, and am interested in knowing the average cost of accommodation, services, foods and stuff like that. Somebody please inform me on that.

You cant compare Arusha to Abuja.......Abuja is in a class of its own

First, Abuja is a Capital City and Arusha has yet to get a City status...therefore it is still a municipal.

If only Dodoma was developed it would resemble Abuja because Dodoma has similar environments as Abuja.

Arusha is a tourist/conference/EAC/gemstones hub...much of investments are private. only recently Govt org.such NSSF and PPF are starting to construct 15 storey towers and malls but still Arusha cannot be compared to Abuja and should not, both are in a different category.

Arusha is a city since September 2010 with a city municipal get your facts right overthere! BTW though Abuja is planned, i looked at its clips and did not see much skyscrapers as you are trying to mean here! Abuja has a population of 776,298 (2006) of which i believe Arusha is currently accomodating! With all the shortcomings I still believe Arusha has World class hotels and facilities more than Abuja! No offense

Just 3 days ago there were tenders advertised and it mentioned that Arusha Municipal...I am aware that its long overdue for them to have a city status.can you bring a gazetted copy that Arusha has now got city status?

what clips? mean here... were?

Again Abuja is a capital city and Arusha isn't!

Arusha is supposed to have even more world class hotels such as hilton, radisson,hyatt,marriott etc.coz of its tourism potential.

I understand Kempinski & Movenpick will build soon.

i think your problem is the word "municipal" of which arusha has a city municipal council pls get a meaning of the word municipal! a city can be under a municipality too...! Actually it was declared a city in July 2010 (http://allafrica.com/stories/201008021315.html)! btw is Abuja having those hotels ( hilton, radisson,hyatt,marriott)? au unabisha tu kwa kasumba? tumia internet kuangalia..Abuja has only Hilton hotel among those you mentioned! When people talk of touristic facilities they mean number of quality beds available (international accepted), of which Abuja hasn't!

Less than 10 floors, this area has potential to be the site of many other tall buildings

who was Colonel Middleton

not quite sure. I tried looking him up but i got nothing. he is probably an English Army Colonel who fought in WW1 or he was in charge of Arusha during the colonial times.

Hujanielewa kabisaaaaaaa! halafu hujui kuongea na watu...nani amekuambia nabisha! nimetetea Abuja wanazo hizo hoteli? kwanini huwezi kuongea na mtu hadi umtukane? Laa haula wala quwatta ila billah! sio ustarabu na desturi huo hata kidogo! Unawasema wa Kenya vibaya wakati wewe mwenyewe huna desturi na utashi mzuri wa kuongea na wa Tanzania wenzio...!

Nimekuelewa mkuu ila unajua watu wanapenda ku-exaggerate mambo unajua neno city lina maana nyingi ikihusisha na facilities zilizopo! Kweli Abuja ina the most beautiful Parliament in Africa! ila hata Dodoma ina a very modern parliament! still Abuja haina facilities kama cities zinavyohitaji esp. hotels na other recreation facilities kama world standard hotels, conference centers, casinos, water parks and touristic shops! Angalia youtube website wameonyesha jiji la Abuja ila infrastructure-wise nawapongeza! Arusha hata Dar wanahitaji kuwekeza kwenye barabara sasa kama Nairobi inavyofanya sasa!

This is so beautifull juz the like the US. Driveway with open front pouch or yard is something nice. Security must be excellent in Arusha. I wish we could have such settings in Nairobi, where we waste alot of money building brick fences for security. I wonder what the pricess of such condominiums are selling for in $. Tanzania is paradise I wonna live here peacefull and quiet, besides Tanzanians are the most adorable people in Africa. :cheers:

Project for Arusha major facelift kicks off

The government, in collaboration with development partners, will tomorrow start executing the long-awaited project to facelift the northern safari capital of Arusha into the envisioned 'Geneva of Africa'.

Arusha city council director Estomih Chang'ah said that the 25.7bn/- project will be executed in three phases and has been funded by the World Bank and the government of Denmark.

“Among other activities, the project will include construction of all roads at the city center, improving the drainage system, and constructing the Muriet dumpsite as well as fixing traffic lights in major road junctions,” Chang’ah told reporters here yesterday.

During the first phase, all roads in the city center will be constructed at bitumen level and all roads will be of 7.23 km.

A-town ni EA hub,tourist hub,conference hub na bado wana plan a bigger convention center,UN Tribunal,na USD 12 million proposed shopping mall,mandela university na proposed Aga Khan University, several hotels and more proposed 5 star hotels coming soon.Simply put it as Clinton said "The Gevena of Arusha"

Mwanza is the hub for surrounding Gold Mines,Fishing Industry,Port,,Trade.Proposed Shopping Mall,Proposed Airport Expansion.

I think Arusha has more prestige status i doubt huyo anayefananisha Mwanza na Arusha nadhani hajui ukweli! Though Mwanza ina kila sababu kuipiku Arusha, that will happen kama tu watatumia vizuri resources walizonazo na kuwashirikisha wananchi vizuri! Maana Arusha utalii unasaidia sana kuwezesha uzungukaji wa fedha kwenda kwa wananchi! Nilishatoa makusanyo ya kodi toka TRA na huwezi amini Tanga inapita hayo majiji mawili kumakusanyo ya kodi

Yes it is unbealivable to many because of its 'sleepy town' status but could it be that Tanga has many industries and offcourse the second biggest port.

Tanga has even bigger potential.

Tanga has even bigger potential.

yap... cement, limestone, quarries, fishing, dairy factories plus a port

HALMASHAURI ya jiji la Arusha kwa kushirikiana na kampuni ya ujenzi ya Phils International ya nchini Dubai wanatarajia kuboresha jiji la Arusha kwa kuwekeza katika mradi mkubwa wa ujenzi wa mji wa kisasa wa kibiashara ambao utajengwa katika eneo la Kaloleni jijini hapa. Mradi huo unataraji kukamilika ndani ya miaka mitano ambapo jumla ya wakazi 24,000 ambao wanaishi katika eneo hilo la Kaloleni watalazimika kupisha ujenzi huo utakaogharimu kiasi kikubwa cha fedha ambazo hadi sasa hazijawekwa wazi. Kwa mujibu wa taarifa iliyotolewa na meya wa jiji hilo,Gaudence Lyimo katika kikao cha kamati ya uwekezaji ya jiji hilo kilichofanyika mwishoni mwa wiki iliyopita mjini hapa alisema kuwa mradi huo unataraji kuwanufaisha wakazi wa jiji la Arusha pamoja na kuufanya uwe wa kuvutia zaidi. Alieleza kuwa mradi huo mbali na kutoa fursa ya ajira kwa vijana mbalimbali mkoani Arusha lakini pia utasaidia kukuza hadhi ya jiji hilo ikiwa ni pamoja na kurahisha upatikanaji wa huduma na bidhaa kwa urahisi. “Sisi tumeona tushirikiane kwa pamoja ili kuendeleza jiji letu la Arusha kupitia mradi huu mkubwa lengo likiwa ni kutoa ajira,upatikanaji wa bidhaa lakini pia tunataka jiji letu liwe la mfano”alisema Limo Aliongeza ya kuwa jiji la Arusha kamwe haliwezi kuwa na nyumba zilizojengwa bila mpangilio mzuri hivyo katika mradi huo wanataraji kuyaboresha maeneo mbalimbali yakiwemo masoko ya jijini hapa wakianzia na eneo la Kaloleni. Kwa upande wake ,kaimu mkurugenzi wa jiji hilo,Estomi Chang”a alisema kuwa mradi huo umepitishwa kwenye kikao cha baraza la madiwani wa jiji hilo na kupewa baraka zote kwa kuwa lengo lao ni kuliboresha jiji hilo. “Katika baadhi ya mambo tunayoyafanya hususani haya ya uwekezaji yote yamepitishwa kwenye baraza la madiwani,tunafanya jitihada nyingi za kuliendeleza jiji letu la Arusha”alisema Chang”a Hatahivyo,meneja wamiradi wa kampuni ya Phils International,Murad Yusuph Ali alisema kuwa katika mradi huo wanatarajia kujenga maduka makubwa,shule,hospitali,sehemu ya vivutio,sehemu za kupumzikia pamoja na maeneo ya maegesho ya magari. Alisisitiza kuwa imewachukua zaidi ya mwaka mmoja kufanya utafiti juu ya mradi huo ambapo alidai kuwa katika mradi huo jiji litabaki kama mmiliki wa ardhi husika,litakusanya kodi kwa wingi lakini pia litagawana faida na mwekezaji. Aliuomba uongozi wa jiji hilo kuharakisha upatikanaji wa kibali cha ujenzi mapema huku akisisitiza ya kuwa hatua iliyowapelekea kuuchagua mradi huo ni baada ya kubaini kuwa jiji la Arusha lina ardhi yenye rutuba pamoja na hali nzuri ya hewa mbali na kuwa na vituo vingi kama mahakama ya kimbari ya Rwanda(ICTR),makao makuu ya jumuiya ya Afrika mashariki(EAC), pamoja na kituo cha mikutano cha kimataifa cha Arusha(AICC

i doubt huyo anayefananisha Mwanza na Arusha nadhani hajui ukweli! Though Mwanza ina kila sababu kuipiku Arusha, that will happen kama tu watatumia vizuri resources walizonazo na kuwashirikisha wananchi vizuri! Maana Arusha utalii unasaidia sana kuwezesha uzungukaji wa fedha kwenda kwa wananchi! Nilishatoa makusanyo ya kodi toka TRA na huwezi amini Tanga inapita hayo majiji mawili kumakusanyo ya kodi

According to TRA tax regions Mwanza is ranked 6th behind Tanga and Arusha in revenue collection hence economic superiority

Arusha council set to modernise 3 markets

Arusha city council will soon start restructuring three major markets into storey buildings as part of a major facelift of the the northern safari capital.
Markets which are lined up for the refurbishment include Arusha central market, Kilombero market, which is popular for selling affordable food items, and Kwamurombo weekly market.
Arusha city mayor Gaudence Lyimo revealed this here recently, stating that the current situation of the markets in the busy city was disgusting and could not attract foreigners as customers.
According to him, most markets in the city were an eyesore as they were in a chaotic situation, thus keeping away potential shoppers.
“To start with, we have appointed different committees to spearhead the process,” Lyimo said.
Lyimo, whose election is at the centre of the one-year Arusha mayoral dispute, stated that among key issues in the improvement of the markets included the construction of storey buildings.
“Our idea is to make the city maintain its status as the country’s tourist capital,” he stressed, without disclosing the actual amount that will be spent in fulfilling the long-awaited dreams.
Among other plans include coming up with with market bazaars of international standards as well as shopping malls with all sorts of goods available, be it clothes, food, drinks, entertainment and recreation facilities included.
The giant supermarkets will be located within Kaloleni area, which is in central Arusha.
“Our target is to make Arusha one of the modern cities in East Africa and right now we’re eyeing for well-experienced contractors from Dubai and other parts of the world,” he said.
The official further called on city dwellers to support the initiatives in different ways, so that the intended missions be realized.
However, Arusha Urban MP, Godbless Lema called on people living in the Kaloleni area not to accept the relocation plan as part of paving the way for the project, claiming that the project was another grand corruption.
“I have got doubts. Even before the tendering process, someone has started naming Dubai-based construction firms,” the controversial MP told a public rally.
Like all other urban centres in Tanzania, Arusha city faces socio-economic problems arising from rapid growth of urban population attributed by natural growth & rural-urban migration.
The high population influx to Arusha is mainly due to the booming tourism business because the city is the main gate way to major tourist centres and due to the city being the main market for minerals from Mererani mines. The current population projection is estimated at 507,903 people, however, over 100,000 people come into city during the day and leave in the evening.

Each time I look at this roundabout and the one at Impala, I realize that beautification need not be expensive. This lawn is far much better than ugly many flower beds I see across towns and cities.
