Itinerary and highlights
The Old Boma Museum in Arusha, Tanzania, is a natural history museum showcasing the region's German colonial and Boma history. Also called the German Boma Museum, it sits on a small hill near Mount Meru, with three buildings – a museum, an art gallery, and an outdoor botanical garden.
Built in 1900, the Old Boma Museum is housed in a historic building used by German administrators and later as a British colonial fort. It displays artefacts depicting Arusha's development, including items from Olduvai Gorge and human evolution artefacts, wildlife exhibits, information on indigenous cultures, and a small botanical garden. The museum also hosts events celebrating Tanzanian art, music, and traditions, providing visitors with an immersive experience of Arusha's past and present.
