How to get to Tanzania

Kilimanjaro, Dar and Zanzibar are the doors. The circuit you choose decides the rest.

★4.8— 60 Tanzania reviews

Airports

JRO (Kilimanjaro) for Arusha and the north. DAR for the south and some internationals. ZNZ for the coast. Some travelers land NBO and connect overland or by air — compare total hours, not just the international fare.

Once you are in

Northern circuits are road-based from Arusha with optional internal flights. Southern circuits usually fly. Your operator should price park fees, flying vs driving, and rest nights honestly.
