About Arusha
Arusha is a city in Tanzania, East Africa, situated at the foot of the volcanic Mt. Meru. It serves as a gateway to safari destinations as well as Africa’s highest peak, Mt. Kilimanjaro, at 5,895 meters. Serengeti National Park, to the west, is home to lions, rhinoceros, giraffes, and leopards, among other animals. Huge herds of wildebeests cross its plains every year during their annual migration.

Kisongo is an administrative ward in Tanzania’s Arusha Region’s Arumeru district. The ward has a total population of 7,501 people, according to the 2002 census. It’s about 7 kilometers west of Arusha Airport on the outskirts of the city. Kisongo has a large number of local churches, dispensaries, and schools. Kisongo Academic College (KAC) is a coed college with two branches: KAC Secondary School and KAC Department of Tourism and Conservation Training (DTC).
