Travelling to Tanzania

Travellers can enter Tanzania by air via Dar es Salaam and Kilimanjaro international airports, which are serviced by Kenya Airways from Nairobi, Air Rwanda from Kigali, Ethiopian Airlines from Addis Ababa, and South African Airways from Johannesburg, as well as KLM from Amsterdam, Turkish Airlines from Istanbul, and Qatar Airways from Doha.

While there are no direct flights from Tanzania to America, although there are direct flights between Nairobi and New York.

The most reliable East African airline for regional flights connecting Dar es Salaam, Kilimanjaro, and Mwanza to neighbouring countries is a Tanzanian airline called Precision Airways.

How Do I Travel In and Around Tanzania?

The quickest and most convenient way to travel around Tanzania is by scheduled or charter flight.

Precision Air offers a number of scheduled flights between the major cities, as well as Zanzibar and Seronera in the Serengeti National Park.

There are also a whole host of airstrips scattered throughout the country’s parks and reserves that are serviced by local air charter companies, including Coastal Aviation, Auric Air, Regional Air, Air Excel, Northern Air, and Grumeti Air.

This is an extremely convenient way to get around the country.

Another option is to arrange a safari that includes a private 4×4 vehicle and driver to transfer you between the parks, reserves, and other attractions on your safari itinerary.

Having an experienced and knowledgeable driver reduces stress and allows you to concentrate on absorbing the scenery and culture around you.

It might take longer than flying, but this is a considerably more immersive method of travel.
