HOW TO GET TO KILIMANJARO FROM
DAR ESSALAAM & NAIROBI
Tanzania is slowly increasing the number of international airlines, which operate flights to either Kilimanjaro International Airport (near Moshi and Arusha) or Dar es Salaam International Airport.
International Flights
All our climbs start from Moshi. Kilimanjaro International Airport is about 45 kilometers from Moshi and receives daily KLM flights from Europe via Amsterdam.
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 Island.
The following carriers also operates to Tanzania:
British Airways fly directly to Dar es Salaam from Gatwick. SA Alliance Air fly from Heathrow to Dar es Salaam via Entebbe, Uganda. Other carriers operates to Tanzania via Europe: Swiss Air from Zurich to Dar es Salaam; Gulf Air to Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar via Muscut and Abu Dhabi; Emirates to Dar es Salaam via Dubai. Tanzania can also be reached via African gateways served by Air Tanzania, Air Zimbabwe, Egypt Air, Ethiopian Air Lines, Kenya Airways and South African Airways.
Kilimanjaro 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 Kilimanjaro International, and the prices more competitive.
