GREAT PLACE, drop everything else on your list of to do and see in Arusha and go to Shanga. It's on the way to the smaller Arusha airport, on the right side of the road, just a small sign.

Shanga is an absolutely wonderful place to visit, eat at, and buy beautiful African items at. All of us in our party could not recommend it highly enough. I wish I had bought more items as everything is unique and beautiful. We ate lunch there and it was very, very good. I will go again the next time I'm in... More
