- Marie Z27 contributionsBeautifully run school over 3 campuses. Very welcomed by staff and students who “love visitors”. Such a wonderful vision by the Australian founder 22 years ago. Brightest, poorest students are given fully paid scholarships. We went to see our sponsored student graduate from her final school year however you don’t need to sponsor to see the school.Written July 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Melinda MMiddletown, MO110 contributionsThis place was so impressive! We had a tour of all the buildings and learned about the history of this performance center, toured their one of a kind outdoor theater space, watched a detailed demonstration of all kinds o traditional instruments from the area including being able to try some, a drumming lesson where a charismatic teacher taught us a piece that sounded pretty good for us non-musicians if I do say so myself! Next we had a dance lesson and were able to perform this dance after just a half hour of patient teaching by an extraordinary dancer. There was also a chance to see three different types of homes used by tribes in the vicinity and learn a bit about each group. The best of all these memorable experiences was an over the top and energetic dance/drumming performance by about a dozen musicians and dancers. We were floored by all quality of the work these performances performed. The school has beautiful, accessible spaces for study, rehearsal and performance. They have a 6000 volume library too. Finally we enjoyed a delicious meal cooked by a chef in an all outdoor kitchen. It would be a shame to visit this area and not spend half a day here like we did. Unforgettable!Written September 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- luc_robertMerelbeke, Belgium208 contributionsFor visiting real Tanzania and Masaipeople, a travel to Engaruka is recommended. The village shows how people lives. The ruins are worth visiting because of the pretty setting. Guiding by a Masai provides a different view on western way of life.Written September 17, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Monica DWashington DC69 contributionsThe Sunday Mass is a great way to experience a small piece of people's lives, and it is humbling to see how deep people's faith is. The choir sings beautifully. Both men and women, young and old, participate with deep devotion. People in Arusha are so warm, welcoming, and good-humoured at all times.
As our safari guide told us at the end of the safari: "You have seen the animals, now see the people".
Sit towards the back of the church, so as not to disturb the service.Written July 25, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The site manager let us in, we bought a couple of drinks and had a real chill out. Great way to laze away a couple of hours - just us, the friendly site manager and a couple of friendly dogs . Fantastic views, clean toilets and optional music - must go back with the family/ friends one evening and during the day when there’s a clear skyWritten August 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
