Getting from Dar es Salaam's airport to the city center

Dar es Salaam is served by Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR), located approximately 12 km southwest of the city center. As Tanzania's largest city and economic hub, various airport transfers to city center destinations are available. Transport options include taxis, ride-hailing services, hotel shuttles, dala-dala minibuses, and private transfers. Journey times vary depending on traffic conditions, which can be significant during peak hours on the main roads connecting the airport to downtown Dar es Salaam.

  • Prices in TZS; table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • Traffic in Dar es Salaam can be heavy, especially during morning and evening rush hours. Journey times may double during peak periods.
  • Dala-dalas do not stop directly at the airport terminal; passengers must walk to the main road (Nyerere Road) to catch one.
