    Location of Equator hotelThe Equator hotel Arusha is located on Boma road of Arusha city's Sekei ward, behind the Tanzania telecommunications company building(TTCL). Its compound lies in a tranquil, tree filled but urban neighbourhood as well as on the slopes of the Themi river, a river that flows from the slopes of mt. Meru. Much of the surrounding buildings are more than two storeys tall and used for offices such banks, airline offices and tour agencies, with a few of them being dedicated hotel buildings.

    The hotel is well inside the CBD and a lot closer to also almost all offices shops and restaurants you may need. At the uphill end of Boma road is Via via, a popular restaurant/cafe/night club of the city. At the other end of Boma road are more restaurants, supermarkets and even a petrol station.

    The regional bus terminal is about 1 km west of the hotel. This is normally where most bus offices are as well as the starting point for most buses that provide transport to almost all of the country's regions and some neighbouring countries. However, some of the more luxurious buses have offices as well as starting points outside this area.

    With regards to airports, there are two options; one a smaller airport about 10 km west of the hotel in Kisongo that only serves small regional or charter flights to national parks. The other airport, much larger in size and second only to Dar es salaam's JKNIA, is located a lot further from the hotel, about 50 km east in the outskirts of another region - Kilimanjaro. Here you may find direct flights to international destinations or even regional if you prefer.
