Stunning little museum with detailed information about the history of the old "Tanganyika" (currently known as Tanzania) before and after the independence. There's some wildlife onsite including large birds such as Marabou Stork

Housed inside what was an old German military outpost and has three separate buildings that are open to the public (the rest being offices), an outdoor mini botanical garden and an outdoor art and crafts gallery. Showcases the natural history, wildlife, culture and artifacts of the Arusha region - Tanzania.

Travel through the evolution of mankind The Arusha Natural History Museum is housed inside the old German compound and divided into three parts. The most interesting exploration explores the origins of humankind, showcasing Tanzania’s rich evolutionary and fossil history. Other displays take visitors through the country’s German colonial area and the lives of insects. Look out for the great wildlife photographs, which are well worth a stop.
