Creating Memories and Making a Difference
Looking for a journey that blends culture, wildlife, and the chance to make a lasting impact? Look no further than Arusha, Tanzania.

From learning about the Maasai culture to thrilling safaris and scaling Mount Kilimanjaro, Arusha is an unforgettable destination. Let’s explore why this vibrant city should be on your travel bucket list!
Immerse Yourself in Maasai Culture
One of the most rewarding aspects of Arusha is the opportunity to connect with the Maasai people, renowned for their rich traditions and strong connection to the land. During your Global Citizenship journey, you’ll visit Maasai villages and learn firsthand about their way of life.
Picture yourself joining a traditional dance around a bonfire, listening to stories passed down for generations, and observing unique rituals. You’ll also have the chance to try local crafts like beadwork, giving you a deep appreciation for this culture that has thrived in harmony with nature for centuries.
Savor the Flavors of Local Cuisine
A trip to Arusha isn’t complete without tasting the delicious local food. While your challenge with us will include meals, you’ll also have opportunities to explore the local culinary scene. Start your day with mandazi (fried dough) and spicy chai, enjoy street food like samosas and ugali at bustling markets, and don’t miss out on pilau, a fragrant rice dish packed with spices. And, of course, try the famous chips mayai—a local favorite of fries and omelet!
