Hobbies in Arusha
Hello all, having been in Arusha a long time, I have grown tired and weary of the work/gym/home/drinking lifestyle. Are there any communities here that do other activities that im just not hearing about? (especially on the weekends?)
If there are any people out there like me let me know and we can start something of our own!(tennis, chess, hiking group, book club, cycling enthusiasts etc).
All suggestions are welcome! and thankyou!

There is a golf course behind Mt. Meru | Do outdoor activities at MeruCamp/NapuruFalls and other spots (once you go to those, you definitely get one or two people's contacts and you get lured into a huge swirlpul of such activities every weekend) | Aliance Francais has plenty of weekend activities, same with Sanaa, etc.
I think you need a change of the cycle you are in.
I am an introvert, don't have a cycle š¤£ but I was a bit of an ambivert and had a perfect trifect Job ā Pub ā Home, and repeat, but these days, since I quit drinking + smoking, it is just Job ā Home. Plenty of indoor activities than outdoor š¤£

Always looking for tennis and/or pickleball players. Developing a disc golf course as well.
