https://www.iatatravelcentre.comThe most reliable East African connecting flights to Kilimanjaro are run by a Tanzanian Airline called Precision Airways. This said, it can be difficult to coordinate flight arrangements with Precision Airways internationally and we can help to coordinate the internal flights for you should you require as much. There are also bus and train options for traveling from Dar es Salaam and Nairobi to Moshi. We do not recommend this option for people visiting Africa for the first time. However, if you’d like more information on these options, please contact us. Passports and Immigration In order for non-residents to enter Tanzania for a short-term (classified as up to 3 months) the Tanzanian government requires that you have a tourist visa. The tourist visa can be obtained in your home country OR easily at the airport/border in Tanzania for approximately 50 - 100 USD (depending on your country of origin). If you do apply for this in your home country bear in mind that the date of issue is the date the visa will start. Health Precautions
