Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR): Getting Into Town

Airport Shuttles

Large shuttle vans are the most economical way of getting into Dar es Salaam. They also provide a pick-up service from your hotel or office to/from the airport. It is possible to reserve a door-to-door private shuttle van or luxury vehicle. Most hotels offer their own shuttle services to and from the airport.

Taxis

The taxi rank is outside the Arrivals Halls. Negotiate a price before getting into an airport taxi as you may be offered a ‘tourist price’. Taxis are not metered and drivers are not affiliated to any formal taxi company, but they are regulated by government. They have white licence plates and their taxi numbers are displayed on the side.

Bus

Public buses run from the airport to the city every 15 minutes. The bus stop is a 5-minute walk from the terminals.
