Our visit to Shanga is always a delight and this time we were surprised with a range of glassware, "Shanga" means bead in Kiswahili.
Shanga is the most beautiful, soulful, serene place and is home to some of Arusha's disabled folk, providing them a safe work environment. They recycle used glass and aluminum to name a few to create amazing products that are for sale in their beautiful little shop. Shanga also has a delightful restaurant called River House. We make sure we visit Shanga a few times when we are in Arusha for the summer.

Once you ave enjoyed a tour of Shanga and met the welcoming wonderful men and women who inspire you with their wonderful talents you wonder over to the River House situated at the bottom of the rolling lawns over looking a little spring on the coffee estate.

You sit sipping sparkling wine or freshly squeezed fruit juice while you wait to be seated at your table. River House has a very yummy buffet of Tanzanian inspired cuisine.
Tanzania has a strong Indian, African and Arabic influence that comes through in the decor and cuisine.

Hope you enjoyed the little tour, some of the photos are not downloading properly and there is no way to rotate them - very irritating I know!!
