Flights

HOW DO YOU GET TO KILIMANJARO?

To get to Kilimanjaro you need to fly to Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA): CODE (IATA: JRO, ICAO: HTKJ) which is served daily by many airlines. The closest major cities to Kilimanjaro National Park are the city of Arusha and the town of Moshi. Depending on where you are traveling from, you can usually fly direct to Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO) via the Gulf (Qatar airlines, Emirates) or via Europe (KLM).

Alternatively, you can fly into Tanzania’s capital, Dar-Es-Salaam (DAR), for a short internal flight to (JRO), or to Kenya’s Jomo Kenyatta International (NBO) airport for a connection to JRO (Kenya Airways, Precision Air).

One of the best way to find cheap flights to Kilimanjaro International Airport is by flying into Nairobi Kenya. It’s also possible to travel by road from Kenya after flying in there. There are numerous bus and shuttle options to take you to Moshi town or the city of Arusha , though the roads can be quite rough at times; you might consider this if you’re feeling adventurous, trying to save money and have sufficient time.

Where do the Mount Kilimanjaro Climbs Begin?

The Tanzanian town of Moshi and the city of Arusha are the main starting points for any Kilimanjaro adventure. Bustling with activity, most tour operators have their base in one of these places, and there are plenty of good accommodation options, restaurants, shops, and markets.

The town of Moshi is closer to the Kilimanjaro international airport (JRO), about 40 minutes by road (45 Kilometers), where the city of Arusha is around 90 minutes (70 Kilometers)

Other Considerations for Mount Kilimanjaro Travel

We highly recommend checking your Visa & Passport requirements well in advance of your booking, including any visa requirements for transit countries.

Make sure you are up to date with vaccinations, including Yellow Fever, particularly if you have a layover in a country at risk (eg. Kenya)

We recommend arriving a couple of days ahead of your climb. This allows for any unexpected delays and gives you an opportunity to be properly rested before the start of your climb.

We’re here to help. We can help you plan your travel itinerary, book local options and any questions you’ve got!
