Despite Arusha’ proximity to the Equator, the climate is surprisingly pleasant with an average temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. Situated 1400m above sea level on the Southern slopes of Mount Meru , even the humidity is kept at bay, not only making the ABA-Arusha budget hotels a tranquil getaway in the middle of some of nature’s most spectacular scenery, but a place where you can really put your feet up and find your grounding again.
