2025 Hai Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

#aprilblooms Shira Cathedral on Kilimanjaro’s western flank was epic. The volcanic plateau feels like another planet, and the views toward Cathedral Point are worth every step. It’s part of the Shira Route, less crowded and longer but scenic. The trail starts at 3400m elevation reaching the Cathedral Point / Shira Peak at 3872m. It is possible to do it as a day hike, which would take around 6-8 hours depending on your fitness level. Tip: Go slow and hydrate—altitude is no joke. Fun fact: The Shira Plateau is an ancient caldera! #tanzania #hiking #travel #mountain

Arusha, a gem in northeastern Tanzania, sits at the southern foot of Mount Meru at an altitude of 1,409 meters. With a pleasant climate year-round, an average temperature of 21°C in the hottest month and 17°C in the coldest month, Arusha is a perfect destination to experience Africa's unique charm in any season. Must-See Attractions - Arusha National Park: About a 40-minute drive from the city, this 137-square-kilometer park boasts diverse terrain, including savannas, the Momella Lakes, forests, and alpine deserts. Here, you can spot giraffes, buffaloes, cheetahs, and other animals, and admire thousands of flamingos and over 400 bird species inhabiting the shallows of the Momella Lakes. On clear days, Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, and Mount Meru, the second highest, are visible. The dry season from June to October offers the best viewing conditions, with clear skies and perfect views of Mount Meru's summit. - Kikuletwa Springs: These emerald green natural hot springs are a gift from nature. Enjoy diving, fish spas, and nearby gorilla viewing opportunities. It's a great place to spend the entire day. Remember to bring your swimsuit and soak in the relaxing hot springs. - Materuni Waterfall: A 40-minute hike through lush forests brings you to this stunning waterfall, immersing you in nature's vitality. Afterward, experience Tanzanian coffee making from bean to cup, participating in the entire process from plantation to roasting and grinding. If you're lucky, you might even catch a traditional song and dance performance by local villagers. Culinary Delights in Arusha - Tanzanian Barbecue: A platter of various meats, grilled to perfection and bursting with aroma. Paired with local spices, each bite is pure bliss. We recommend visiting highly-rated barbecue restaurants like Khan's Barbeque, known for its welcoming owner and affordable prices. - Ugali: This traditional Tanzanian staple, made from cornmeal, has a firm texture. Enjoy it with stews, meat, or vegetables for an authentic African culinary experience. - Freshly Squeezed Juices: With an abundance of local fruits like mangoes, bananas, and oranges, freshly squeezed juices are a must-try. Refreshing and flavorful, they're the perfect palate cleanser. Unique Experiences - Coffee Picking Tour: Tanzanian coffee is world-renowned. Join Furahi Cultural Tourism's coffee picking activity, venture into a coffee plantation, pick your own beans, participate in the roasting and grinding process, and finally, savor the unforgettable taste of your own hand-crafted coffee. - Visit a Maasai Village: Arusha is close to settlements of the Maasai, a famous East African nomadic tribe. Visit a non-commercial Maasai village, such as Nanja Village, to witness their authentic way of life, interact with them, purchase handicrafts, and experience the unique Maasai culture. Remember to respect local customs, avoid giving money randomly, and consider bringing small gifts like stationery or books. Important Notes - Transportation: The main modes of transport within the city are tricycles and motorcycles, costing around 3–15 CNY. Public buses operate from Arusha Central Bus Station, with short-distance fares ranging from 2–12 CNY. Consider hiring a car for longer journeys to attractions. - Currency Exchange: The Tanzanian shilling is the local currency, exchangeable at airports, banks, or exchange bureaus. Some businesses accept US dollars, but the exchange rate may not be favorable. We recommend exchanging sufficient shillings in advance. - Respecting Customs: Tanzania is a multi-ethnic country. Respect local customs, traditions, and religious beliefs. When visiting a Maasai village, follow the guide's instructions and avoid trespassing on private property. Dress respectfully when visiting religious sites. - Disease Prevention: Consult your doctor about necessary vaccinations, such as the yellow fever vaccine. Carry mosquito repellent to prevent mosquito-borne diseases. Pay attention to food hygiene and avoid consuming unclean food or raw water.

At the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, hide the wild hot spring under the holy mountain, the Kikuletwa Hot Springs, a natural heated swimming pool outside Moshi, Tanzania. It is part of a small river with clear water that turns from a volcanic activity to a hot spring. Compared with the surrounding environment, the water itself is not very hot, and even the fish live in the hot springs. In some places, you can see the hot water rising from the underground waterway, giving people a boiling water. impression. The swimming pool itself is very large, and some areas are more than 5 meters deep, and the vines around the trees form an original and beautiful environment. The locals used the branches to make a natural swing, and each person climbed the mountain and danced in the hot spring like a mountain.
