Getting to Moshi
Moshi is a town located on the Southern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro in the North of Tanzania, not far from the border to Kenya.

To reach Moshi/Kilimanjaro, the best option is flying to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). Several airlines such as KLM/Kenya airways, Ethiopian and Condor serve it. Our shuttle from JRO airport to Moshi is 10 US$ one way.

The tickets to Kilimanjaro airports may be a bit more expensive than flying to Nairobi or Daressalam, but you save time for bus travel, costs for domestic travel, costs for a Kenyan visa (if flying to Nairobi) and possibly 2 hotel nights in Nairobi or Daressalam.

It is a good idea to arrive at least one day before your Kilimanjaro trek or safari departs.

Other possible airports and associated costs:

Busses between Dar to Moshi are around 20-25 US$ per person one-way and take 8 hours. Domestic flights take around 1 hour and cost approx. 150-170 US$ on way. Safe hotels are starting from 40 US$ for a double room. We can assist you with hotel bookings and transportation from/to Daressalam.
