Arusha, Tanzania, is located on the southern slopes of 5,000 meter (15,000 foot) Mt. Meru. With Mt. Kilimanjaro 75 km to the east and the major game parks to the west, Arusha has become Tanzania's foremost gateway to tourism.

Run your cursor over the map at the right to get more detail regarding our location.

The Clock Tower marks the center of town, and is located halfway between Cairo and the Cape of Good Hope.

Boma Road proceeds northeast from the Clock Tower (seen in the distance at the left).

At the end of Boma Road is the Old Boma (with the top of Mt Meru just peeking around a tree). The Boma is a German fortification built a century ago. Now it functions as the National History Museum and hosts cultural events.

The Boma represents the past, but the Uhuru Torch represents the present. Tanzania celebrates almost 40 years of independence under stable leadership begun by founding father Julius Nyerere.

Arusha's excellent location and climate make it an ideal place not only for vacations but for conferences. The structures at the left are part of the large Arusha International Conference Center -- which also happens to be the home of Arusha Node Marie. That's our satellite dish which you see on the top of the building.

Selian Clinic is a branch of the larger Selian Hospital which is located north and west of Arusha. A new Selian Hospital is at present being constructed in the same area as the clinic.

Arusha has many good restaurants, and offers food along a number of ethnic lines. But the sign that often first catches the eye of tourists is the one at the left. Not the "Golden Arches," but close.

There is much to see and do in and around Arusha. You are most welcome to pay us a visit. And if you are in need of establishing communications "back home" or anywhere in the world . . .
