This evening food tour with a local guide navigates the best street food stations in the city: mishkaki (spiced skewered beef and goat), nyama choma (whole roasted goat slow-cooked over charcoal), chipsi mayai (the Tanzanian chip omelette that is as good as it sounds), vitumbua (coconut rice doughnuts), and fresh sugar cane pressed to juice at roadside machines. The guide explains the food culture and shares the stories of the families who have been running these stalls for generations. An essential Arusha evening experience.
