Destination guide
Arusha
Tanzania's safari capital under the shadow of Mount Meru
How to get there
Getting to Arusha
However you're arriving — from overseas, from another part of Tanzania, or just moving around once you're here.
Flying in from abroad
International visitors
Fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), about an hour's drive east of Arusha and the main gateway for the northern safari circuit.
From elsewhere in Tanzania
Upcountry & other cities
Arusha Airport (ARK) is the hub for light aircraft to the Serengeti, Zanzibar and beyond, while JRO handles larger domestic jets and long-distance coaches connect Dar es Salaam, Moshi and Nairobi.
Getting around locally
Once you're in the region
In town, daladalas and bajaji cover short hops, taxis and ride apps like Bolt are available, and safari operators collect guests directly for game drives in 4x4 vehicles.
