The Gran Meliá Arusha has rooms with views of Mount Meru or Arusha City. The rooms are decorated in a style inspired by Tanzanian tribes and the nearby coffee plantations. The rooms have private balconies, large TVs, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a safe, a minibar, and a full bathroom.
Beyond the hotel, you can explore the lively town of Arusha. Visit the Maasai market for unique handicrafts made from ebony and redwood. For a thrilling day trip, visit the Ngorongoro Crater, a massive volcanic caldera formed millions of years ago. The crater floor covers 100 square miles and is 2000 feet deep. Another great option is a day trip to Arusha National Park. You can see a variety of habitats, including forests, blue monkeys, turacos, trogons, and black-and-white colobus monkeys. This is the only place in the northern safari circuit where you can easily see these monkeys.
In the heart of Zanzibar’s Stone Town, you’ll discover a charming maze of bazaars, bicycles, bas-reliefs, and benches. Stone benches, or bazara, line the narrow streets, perfect for people-watching. This UNESCO World Heritage site offers a captivating experience of the idyllic East African island, rich in culture, coffee, spices, and luxurious accommodations like the Park Hyatt, majestically perched on Shangani Beach.
From the hotel, you can easily explore the town’s attractions on foot: the lush Forodhani Gardens with its vibrant street food scene, the Old Fort which has served various purposes since 1699, the Old Dispensary, the Peace Memorial, and the Palace Museums. The bustling spice markets are filled with fragrant, colorful wares, including some of the finest coffee in the world. You might also find beautiful Tanzanian jewelry and visit the birthplace of Farrokh Bulsara, also known as Freddie Mercury of Queen.
No visit is complete without admiring the famous Zanzibari doors, ornately carved wooden masterpieces from the 19th century that are a true sensory delight in Stone Town.

Nestled beside the entrance to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Neptune Ngorongoro is the gateway to a lush haven where wildebeests and zebras, along with their predators, begin their epic migration into the Serengeti-Maasai Mara ecosystem.

From its peak, you can gaze down upon 100 pristine square miles of former lava lake, now a serene grassland and forest, home to over 25,000 large mammals.
