Getting from Dar es Salaam city center to Dar es Salaam airport

Dar es Salaam is served by Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR), located approximately 12 km southwest of the city center. Travelers heading to the airport from the city center can choose from several transport options including taxis, ride-hailing services, public buses, dalla dallas (shared minibuses), and private transfers. Journey times vary considerably depending on traffic conditions, which can be heavy during peak hours on the main Nyerere Road corridor. Planning your airport transfers from the city center in advance is strongly recommended, especially during morning and evening rush hours.

Notes:

  • Prices in TZS with USD equivalents for reference; table created in 2026 and subject to change.
  • Prices are subject to change; always confirm fares with the operator before travel.
  • Traffic on Nyerere Road and surrounding routes can significantly extend journey times during peak hours (07:00–09:00 and 16:00–19:00).
  • DART BRT does not stop directly at the terminal; a short taxi ride or walk may be required for the final stretch.
  • Dalla dallas are shared minibuses and are not recommended for travelers with large amounts of luggage.
  • Negotiate taxi fares before departure as meters are not commonly used in Dar es Salaam.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites for your travel planning.
