Where is Pathfinder Safaris located?

Although there are no passenger train services to or from Arusha, there are regular buses to Dodoma, Nairobi, Dar es Salam and other local towns. Another good reason why you need to get to Arusha first is the availability of Tanzania music and the notable Tanzanian hip-hop which is mostly performed in Swahili and also other genres influenced by African American music which is locally known as Bongo Flava.
