Themi Living Garden — Restaurant in Arusha

This was an unexpected highlight of our visit to Arusha. We arrived late morning and were given a tour by one of the artists, then around 12 or 12:30 lunch made by local women was available. The food was delicious and very affordable - even after I added a large tip it was one of the cheapest meals we had in Tanzania.
