Why Book your airport transfers with us?

 

Convenient Pickups

Flight tracking

When you are booking an airport pickup we encourage you to enter your flight number. This allows your driver to know exactly where to pick you up if there are multiple arrival areas. It also means we can track your flight and simply adjust the pickup time if your flight is delayed.

 

Free waiting time

Once you have arrived at the airport there is up to 60 minutes free waiting time included in each booking – depending on your booking class. We understand it can often take longer than expected to reach your driver and so we give you a bit of extra time.

What Makes our Service Exceptional?

Our drivers are required to meet high standards of professionalism, courtesy and friendliness so that they can fulfil our mission to make your airport shuttle experience as stress-free and efficient as possible. We also recruit from local operatives who have a wealth of knowledge and who are encouraged to help you out with tips and ideas about Sofia or anywhere that you are heading from the airport. Not only will you be spared the bewilderment of trying to find your way from Arrivals to your hotel, you’ll be able to pick the brains of your local driver for the best things to see and do during your stay.

Gap Between Transfers

Arusha City Map
Arusha Airport Transfers FAQ

Located in north eastern Tanzania, Arusha is the capital of the Arusha Region. The city is situated under the towering giant Mount Meru, and Mount Kilimanjaro is just 82.6km away.

Arusha was first settled in the 1830s by the Arusha Maasai. These agropastoral settlers belonged to the Arusha Chini community who lived south of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Arusha is the safari capital of Tanzania, and a popular stopover for adventurers who are preparing for a Kilimanjaro trek.

There are two airports near Arusha. Arusha Airport is a domestic airport with only a few daily flights. It is 15 minutes from the town centre, and it is often the starting point for safaris.

Kilimanjaro International Airport receives daily flights from domestic, African, and international airlines. This airport is around 45 minutes from the centre and a taxi to the airport will cost around $50. Some drivers may accept a cheaper fare, but you will need to haggle.

If you are travelling from Kilimanjaro Airport to the local Arusha airport, allow at least one hour for the journey.

It is possible to rent a car in Arusha but parking costs $0.50 per day throughout the city. It is far more common to hire a driver, and this is particularly useful for daytrips to Arusha National Park. If you are renting a vehicle, make sure that there is no charge for ‘extra kilometres’, as this can become expensive.

Dala dalas (small minibuses) are common throughout Tanzania and these only depart when they are full. They cost 400 TSH/person and they operate along the major roads throughout the day. You will find a large station on Stadium Street.

You can also take a bajaji (tuk-tuk) for a one-dollar ride to the city centre. None of these options are particularly comfortable or safe, but they do offer an authentic Tanzanian experience.

Taxis are available and they can usually be found parked in front of hotels. A ride across town should not cost more than $2.50.

  1. #1. Cultural Tourism Programs.
  2. #2.  Markets and Museums.
  3. #3. Coffee Tours
  4. #4. Day Trips.
  5. #5. Hiking and Trekkings.
  6. #6. Meserani National Park.

There are some excellent authentic street-food options in Arusha. At Discovery Restaurant, you can sit beside Maasai men and enjoy a Myama choma (roasted meat and maize), chapati, pilau, or biryani.

Alternatively, try out Khan’s BBQ on Mosque Street, which serves great chicken dishes, Indian style chutneys, naans, and salads.

More upmarket options can be found in the Eastern side of town. Some of the best dining options are found outside of the city. The Themi Living Gardens is a leafy spot where you can eat at the eco-restaurantEat Wild. The Mulberry is another outer-city oasis where you can sit back and enjoy cocktails as you watch the sunset. For travellers who like to party, this is an excellent spot for pre-drinks.

The city has a lively nightlife, with several bars and nightclubs (we recommend Via Via) and a growing live music scene. There are weekly acts at the Mount Meru Game Lodge, Blue Heron, and the Fig and Olive.

There are some Bureaus de Change in Arusha clustered around the Clock Tower, and some ATMs in the city centre. It is a good idea to stop by these before your safari to take out some notes. There are not many other options during the Northern Circuit and it is good to have cash to buy souvenirs or tip drivers and guides. 

 

Arusha is known for being the safari capital of Tanzania, and a popular stopover for adventurers who are preparing for a Kilimanjaro trek.
