    Great place to visit just ridiculously over priced. Great artwork and the gallery is wonderful but be repeated as it has about 5 stories.

    The 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 visit

    House 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.

    it'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.

    Carol and the staff were all extremely helpful. Great selection of pieces at very reasonable prices. Was able to get a set of tanzanite earrings as a gift for my mom.

    Wonderful, huge art gallery that was more like a museum than a gallery. The range of art was amazing and the prices were suprisingly reasonable. We had two hours to spend there and we could have spent a full day. Really wonderful
