All our safaris in Northern Tanzania start and finish in Arusha. Kilimanjaro International Airport is about 40 miles from Arusha and receives daily KLM flights from Europe.

Since the KLM flights continue to Dar-es-Salaam, it is possible to arrange an itinerary with arrival into Kilimanjaro and departure from Dar or visa versa. This is particularly useful for those wishing to include a visit to Zanzibar or the Southern reserves into their schedule.

Arusha is a great deal closer to Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, than it is to Dar-es-Salaam. The number of airlines and frequency of flights into Nairobi is much greater than those into Dar, and the prices more competitive. For these reasons, 80% of safari visitors to Northern Tanzania fly into Nairobi. We arrange shuttle bus transfers or private transportation for clients from Nairobi to Arusha. For UK residents we can book British Airways flights into Nairobi and out of Dar es Salaam- ideal for a Northern Tanzania Safari combined with a Zanzibar extension. Also, we can book flights on Kenya Airways into and out of Nairobi..

There is an inexpensive shuttle bus running twice daily between Nairobi and Arusha.The shuttle bus from Nairobi has one early morning departure (08:00 AM) and one afternoon departure (14:00). The terminals are the Norfolk, Stanley and Hilton Hotels in Nairobi and the Mount Meru Hotel in Arusha. The journey takes at least 3 and 1/2 hours, dependent on road conditions and subject to formalities at the border crossing at Namanga. Clients do have the option of arranging private transportation from Nairobi to Arusha and return at a supplementary charge.

NAIROBI TO ARUSHA FLIGHTS
There is a daily flight available from Nairobi airport to Kilimanjaro airport.
