Flights to Tanzania

The best way to reach Tanzania is by air. Tanzania has two international airports.

  • Dar es Salaam International Airport (airport code: DAR)
  • Kilimanjaro International Airport (airport code: JRO).
  • Charter flights and some international operators to Zanzibar Island (airport code: ZNZ)

Julius Nyerere International Airport is 13 km/8 miles southwest of Dar es Salaam.

Kilimanjaro International Airport is 46 km/29 miles east of Arusha

There are two other regional airports: Zanzibar on the island of Zanzibar and Arusha (8 km/5 miles west of Arusha). These airports handle much of the safari traffic to and from the reserves.

Suppose you’re planning to visit Zanzibar, in southern and western Tanzania. It is ideal to fly to the capital, Dar es Salaam.

Several European carriers fly into Dar es Salaam.  Include British Airways, KLM, and Swissair(which share codes with Delta). There are long-distance bus services between Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda.

Suppose you’re planning to visit Northern Tanzania. The best airport to arrive at is Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA). KLM has daily flights from Amsterdam. Ethiopian Airlines and Kenya Airways / Precision Air also fly into KIA.

All airport transfers are included in the tour package price. 

Tanzania is well connected to the Middle East, USA, Asia, Africa, and Europe through various hubs:-

  • Air Kenya flies between London and Kilimanjaro International Airport via Nairobi.
  • Ethiopian Airlines flies between London and Kilimanjaro International Airport via Addis Ababa.
  • KLM flies between London and Kilimanjaro International Airport via Amsterdam
  • Emirates flies between London and Kilimanjaro International Airport via Dubai.
  • FastJet connects South Africa and Tanzania.
  • ZanAir, Air Excel, and Flight Link also offer a range of domestic options in Tanzania.

There are frequent flights to Tanzania from London and Europe.  Flight time is about 11 hours, depending on stopovers. From New York, you should expect to travel for about 19 hours, including stopovers.

It is best to check websites such as Skyscanner and Expedia to learn more about how to fly to Tanzania.

General Travel Information

Our team carefully researched and focused on trips that attract people with the same interest and naturally get on well with each other through their shared interests.

Once you confirm your booking on a tour you will be sent further practical information – packing tips, detailed itineraries, including advice on health, passport and visa requirements, and minimum and maximum numbers of guests on tours.

Memorable meals are one of the hallmarks of an excellent holiday. With the support of the best cooks, the quality of food and drink service is guaranteed. Depending on the service level or type of tour you have chosen, pre-discussion with your tour planner is a win-win situation for an enjoyable diet. Other tours are accompanied by our cook and others are inclusive service from our accommodation partners include hotels, private camps, and luxury lodges.

The answer is absolute yes! The areas where safaris are organized are safe and free of political chaos. We conduct safaris in places that are politically stable to assure our clients’ safety and enjoyment.

Our Professional Safari Guides are well trained about wild animal behaviors and they have enough experience to lead our clients in the wilderness. Our vehicles are 4×4 Toyota Land Cruiser and Land Rovers with a hutched roof to give maximum visibility of a game.

African safaris guarantee unlimited sightseeing; millions of animals, birds, and plant life are the core characters of the African savanna. You roam across the countryside in search of Elephants, Lions, Rhinos, Cape buffalo, and Leopards (the so-called “Big Five”). On any given day, you will encounter Blue Wildebeests, Zebras, a large variety of antelope species, Gazelles, Giraffes, Baboons, and Hippos. The birdlife is fantastic – in some areas, up to 400 bird species have been identified! Think of the majestic Baobab tree (some tribes believe that the tree was indeed planted upside-down!), and there are hundreds of varieties of thorn trees! You will also see the acacia-dotted landscape, endless plains, majestic mountains, and the most beautiful sunsets and sunrises one could ever imagine! Think of a late afternoon thunderstorm, short but violent, and then the beautiful rainbow.

Tanzania destinations are accessible throughout the year but we advise you to take your tours during the dry session for the safari so as you can enjoy the best sightings at this time as the grasses and bush are at their least dense. July to October and December through February. The green session includes March through June. Discuss with us for the best option if you have also a plan to coincides with Wildebeest Migration in Serengeti National Park’

(We suggest you remember) insect repellent (the best way to prevent malaria and other insect-borne diseases), sunscreen, cap or hat, sunglasses, binoculars, detergent powder if you want to wash some clothes yourself, hand-wipes small flashlight, aspirin, diarrhea medicine, rain jacket, poncho, or collapsible umbrella, plastic bags (for wet clothes, swimsuit and for keeping dust away from camera equipment), Kleenex/toilet tissue a neck chain for eyeglasses if you take them off to use binoculars and cameras, any medical prescription you need, masking tape or labels for marking exposed films cans, film, extra camera batteries.

Although more than 2000 languages and dialects are spoken throughout Africa, this presents no problem as English is spoken throughout East and Southern Africa. Apart from English, all our professional guides are multilingual so we get you covered.

Note – the migration is a natural event and the timing varies month by month; year by year. A good thing is it won’t happen in one day it takes time to complete.
 
We share updates with our clients once the migration starts. So in case, your desire is to witness the migration communicate with us in advance. So that we can try our best to assure your encounter.
 
Please note that the majority of visitors do not witness the river crossing since it’s the timing. And duration varies each year. The best probable months are July, August, September

Around the turn of the century (until the ’30s and ’40s), mobile tenting was the only option, and “camp as you go” was the standard practice. Over the years the luxury connected with the traditional mobile tenting safari has increased. By the same token, one can understand that the cost of having a “luxury hotel” following one around in Africa is expensive. However, most people settle for permanent tented camps. Because they are “permanent” they can be equipped with flush toilets and traditional bathroom fixtures and conveniences. Don’t be misled by terminology – a permanent tented camp offers the comfort of a 5-star hotel but with the romance and adventure of being surrounded by the sights and sounds of Africa.
