- Robert dMelbourne, Victoria, Australia25 contributionsGreat place to visit just ridiculously over priced. Great artwork and the gallery is wonderful but be repeated as it has about 5 stories.Written December 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sandra H1 contributionThe exhibits are a bit dated but the female Masai guide did an excellent job of bringing it all to life. I didn’t get her name, but she deserves 5 stars! A lot of German boma history to read, natural history including a 160 year old living and breathing tortoise! Gardens, taxidermy and optional local crafts to view and buy. Well worth a visitWritten August 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Alexandra F3 contributionsHouse of Gems did a fabulous job taking care of us at the Gran Melia location. My sister and I really appreciate their professionalism and attention to detail. We purchased two rings, a bracelet, and a free stone. All are stunning. We would highly recommend a stop here during your next visit to Arusha.Written February 7, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Larry15 contributionsit's a nice little museum about the history of Tanzania . My issue about this museum is that it's set up rather rudimentarily. The guided tour is $10 which may seem a lot for some. it's more suitable for adults or older children as reading of the posters will be necessary.Written August 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Margaret L8 contributionsWonderful, huge art gallery that was more like a museum than a gallery. The range of art was amazing and the prices were suprisingly reasonable.
