Flights Within Tanzania

Flights Within Tanzania

If you are arriving by air, you will likely land in Dar es Salaam. Be mindful that local airlines offering connections to other domestic destinations, such as Arusha or Kilimanjaro are notorious for their delays and cancellations, while flights to smaller towns such as Kigoma may be advertised but actually unavailable.

As a rule of thumb, plan for flight delays and give yourself a day before catching your international flight back home. Private flights are available to connect to the National Parks, but their price tag is significantly higher.

Being overshadowed by its northern neighbour has rather worked in Tanzania’s favour. Tourism has developed here more quietly, more thoughtfully, with fewer cheap packages and more personalised experiences. It’s more stable and laid-back, and enormous enough to keep some corners well hidden. But its attractions are anything but low-key: Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, the Maasai, Zanzibar, the Big Five, and of course, the Great Migration, which propels itself around the northern plains throughout the year.

TANZANIA SEES KENYA’S OFFERING AND RAISES IT – WITH HIGHER MOUNTAINS, TROPICAL ISLANDS, MORE DIVERSE CULTURE AND GREAT MIGRATION THAT LASTS ALL YEAR.

Despite the big names, it’s often the smaller details that remain in the memory – the fiendishly good fusion of Arabic, Swahili and Indian cuisine; an eye opening bushwalk with a Maasai guide; a glimpse of an endangered wild dog in the little-visited south; the silhouette of a dhow at sunset. Our Tanzania travel guide will leave you in no doubt as to why this land has attracted travellers for centuries – and that it will be sure to attract many, many more in the years to come.
