"To find a place to live in Arusha, you can start by researching online on websites such as Airbnb, Booking.com, and Lamudi Tanzania, which offer listings of apartments, houses, and guesthouses in the area. You can also join expat and local community groups on Facebook, such as "Arusha Expats" or "Arusha Accommodation," where members often share available rental properties and recommendations. Another option is to contact local real estate agents or property management companies in Arusha, who can help you find a suitable place based on your preferences and budget. You can find their contact information online or through local business directories. Once you have shortlisted a few potential places, it's essential to visit the properties in person to inspect their condition and the surrounding neighborhood. This will also give you an opportunity to negotiate rental terms and prices with the landlord or property manager. Lastly, consider asking friends, colleagues, or acquaintances who live in Arusha for recommendations and advice on finding a place to live. They may have valuable insights on the best neighborhoods, local amenities, and rental prices in the area," explained one expat living in Arusha, Tanzania.
