Where should I fly to in Tanzania?

Tanzania has three international airports: Dar es Salaam, Arusha, and Zanzibar. There are several additional airports and airstrips available for domestic travel in Tanzania.

Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) in Dar es Salaam

This airport is on the East Coast. It is the largest airport in Tanzania, so you may need to travel here first before connecting to one of the smaller ones. If you're traveling to West, Central, or Southern Tanzania, this airport is the best option.

Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) near Arusha

JRO is located close outside of Arusha, the largest city in northern Tanzania. This is the excellent airport for a Northern Circuit safari or a Kilimanjaro climb. As shown on the map below, it is extremely near Moshi, the town closest to Kilimanjaro National Park.

Zanzibar Abeid Amani Karume Airport (ZNZ) in Zanzibar

If you're visiting the Zanzibar archipelago, you'll want to fly into ZNZ on Unguja Island. If you're traveling to Zanzibar from elsewhere in Tanzania, you might utilize Pemba Airport (PMA) depending on your schedule.
