Flights For Your Mount Kilimanjaro Climb

If you choose to climb Kilimanjaro with us you will be required to purchase your flights yourself. Please send us the details/itinerary in order to confirm precise dates for your climb.

Airports in Kilimanjaro District
  • The best Airport to arrive at is Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO).  Here is a link to the airport's website: http://www.kilimanjaroairport.co.tz/
Kilimanjaro International Airport
Kilimanjaro International Airport
There is also a secondary airport at Arusha, Arusha Airport (HTAR) (ARK). 
  • Major African Airline flying to Arusha:
    • Precision Air
    • Air Tanzania
    • Fly540
  • Websites: http://airport-authority.com/ARK or  http://www.flightstats.com/go/Airport/airportDetails.do?airportCode=ARK

Zanzibar Stopovers

For those adding a Zanzibar stopover to their climb, we recommend the following:
  • International flight into Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO)
  • Internal flight from Kilimanjaro (or Arusha Airport) to Zanzibar (1 hour & 15mins)
  • Internal flight from Zanzibar to Dar Es Salaam  (15 Minutes)
  • International flight from Dar Es Salaam
The reason for this is that if you book return international flights from Kilimanjaro, you will need to travel 1 hour & 15 minutes back from Zanzibar to Kilimanjaro to pick up your international flight, when Dar Es Salaam is also an international airport and only 15 mins (internal flight) from Zanzibar. 

The daily return KLM flight from Kilimanjaro stops at Dar es salaam before continuing  on to Amsterdam. 

For those individuals adding a Uganda or Kenya safaris extension, we recommend a Kilimanjaro International arrival with a Nairobi departure.  

Cheapest flights
No one airfare site is always the cheapest in our experience, so we have listed a few that seem to have the best offers:
  • www.vayama.com, 
  • www.farecompare.com, 
  • www.expedia.com, 
  • www.eBookers.com or 
  • www.Zuji.com 
Each company will have a local internet site for your continent.


Baggage
Sometimes your baggage may be put on the wrong  connection. When flying we recommend you wear your walking boots and carry a few essential items in a carry in bag so that this doesn't delay your trek start. 

If your bags do not arrive with you, please report to your carrier inside the airport at the baggage claim desk, before passing through customs and fill out required paperwork. Ask them when they expect the bag to arrive and provide them with the phone number of  the hotel you will be staying at.  


Airport Codes
Airport code for major East African Airports are:
  • Kilimanjaro (JRO)
  • Arusha (ARK)
  • Dar es salaam (DAR)
  • Zanzibar (ZNZ) 
  • Nairobi (NBO)
  • Entebbe (EBB)


Air Lines
The only major airline flying directly to Kilimanjaro International Airport is KLM from Europe and NORTHWEST AIRLINE from USA.
Northwest Airline offers daily flights from major cities in U.S to Kilimanjaro International Airport. 
The daily flight from Amsterdam to  Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) with KLM arrives in the late evening.


Alternative International Flights.
Kilimanjaro - Arusha area is the starting point for Tanzanian climbs and safaris. If a direct flight arriving at Kilimanjaro (JRO) on KLM/NORTHWEST AIRLINE is not possible, there are several good alternatives on:
  • British Airways.
  • Quatar Airways.
  • Swiss Airways.
  • Emirates.
  • Southafrican Airways.
Each of these airlines has arrival into Nairobi (Kenya) or Dar es salaam. Depending on your specific  flight schedule an overnight maybe required either in Nairobi or Dar es  salaam. If that happens we can also arrange hotels and transfers in both Dar Es Salaam Tanzania and Nairobi Kenya.
