Arusha
Arusha is Tanzania's safari capital — a high-altitude city nestled between Mount Meru and the plains of the Serengeti, serving as the gateway to some of the most celebrated wildlife destinations on the planet.
Mount Meru Hospital and several surrounding district facilities offer students a compelling mix of trauma, tropical medicine, and community health in a city that handles both local patients and travellers from across the region. The altitude, the climate, and the extraordinary natural surroundings make Arusha one of our most popular East African placements.
The proximity to Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Mount Kilimanjaro, and Tarangire means that weekends during a placement here can include some of the most extraordinary wildlife experiences on Earth. Arusha also hosts a thriving Maasai cultural scene and a network of excellent local restaurants and coffee shops that make it a genuinely comfortable base.
