How to get to Mount Kilimanjaro?

Mount Kilimanjaro is located in northern Tanzania, East Africa, near the Kenyan border. The two nearest cities/towns, both significant tourist destinations, are Arusha (population slightly less than 620,000) to the southwest and Moshi (population slightly more than 220,000), south of Kilimanjaro National Park.

There are two ways to get to Mount Kilimanjaro:

• By air: The best way to go to Kilimanjaro is to fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). Many international airlines fly to JRO from various locations around the world. Travelers may arrange transportation from the airport to adjacent cities like Moshi and Arusha, which serve as the primary headquarters for Kilimanjaro hikes.
• By land: Travelers can also get to Kilimanjaro by land from neighboring countries like Kenya or by riding long-distance buses from other regions of Tanzania. However, this alternative may result in longer travel hours and many transfers.
