How to get from the airport to the city centre?
It isn’t difficult to find your way to your hotel from the airport although you are very limited on the options available. There is no bus or train service available which makes a taxi your only option if you haven’t planned ahead. Taxis do have a price list to different destinations but don’t be afraid to negotiate a little to try and a get a better price. When you have booked your flights to Tanzania you can also look into hotels that offer a shuttle service. There are some hotels who charge ridiculous amount of money for the privilege of being collected. That said, if the hotels in Stone Town do offer free transfers, so this is something you should definitely look into.
Once your flights to Tanzania land at Dar es Salaam you’ll have just a couple of options available to get you to your hotel. The easiest, most convenient method is to pre-arrange transport before you leave. A lot of hotels to provide airport transfers either in with the total cost or as a small additional fee. It is advisable to secure a hotel which provides this service as it makes travelling to your hotel a lot easier and you won’t have to worry about any issues. The best time to arrange this is of course after you’ve booked your flights to Tanzania. Your other option is to get a taxi. While taxis aren’t cheap, they aren’t extortionate either so it will come down to your own preference. If you’re not keen on the idea of travelling in a foreign country in a taxi then definitely arrange for the shuttle when you’ve secured your flight tickets.
