Why this trip
Coffee plantations on the slopes, Mount Meru at your back and somewhere behind it Kilimanjaro: Arusha is the place where a safari begins before the first animal has been seen. For Muslim families, it is worth planning two nights here. Arusha National Park, with grassland, lakes and volcanoes, lies in front of the city and is suited as an introduction for children who are not yet ready to sit for days in an off-road vehicle. If you want to hike, you can set your sights on Mount Meru.
For accommodation, the data list names Gran Melia Arusha and Arusha Coffee Lodge by Elewana, each with a rating. Meals and prayer times for the coming safari days can also be arranged here before you head to camp. The safari season runs from July to October. Tarangire, Ngorongoro, the Serengeti and Zanzibar are reachable, some of them by domestic flight.
A visa for Tanzania is required, eVisa or visa on arrival, and the current status should be checked beforehand. If you have luggage and children to organise, a hotel near the airfield saves a lot of travel time on the day of arrival.
Getting there
For the journey, Halal Travel takes prayer times and catering on board into account from Zurich or Basel-Mulhouse.
