Major Airports & Gateways
Dar Es Salaam (DAR): Julius Nyerere International Airport — located in Dar es Salaam, it is Tanzania’s main international gateway, handling the majority of long-haul and regional international flights.
Kilimanjaro (JRO): Kilimanjaro International Airport — located between Arusha and Moshi, it serves international travelers heading to Mount Kilimanjaro, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Zanzibar (ZNZ): Abeid Amani Karume International Airport — located on Unguja Island (Zanzibar), it serves international flights mainly from Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, and is a key gateway for beach tourism.
Others: MWZ (Mwanza), ARK (Arusha), and MYW (Mtwara) have limited or mostly regional international service; most long-haul travelers from the U.S. and other continents typically fly into Dar es Salaam (DAR), Kilimanjaro (JRO), or Zanzibar (ZNZ) and connect onward domestically or regionally.
Best Time to Fly
The best time to fly to Tanzania is during the dry seasons, which make travel and wildlife viewing much easier. The long dry season runs from June to October, and the short dry season occurs from late December to February. During these periods, roads are more accessible, national parks are easier to navigate, and wildlife is concentrated around water sources, making safaris in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire more productive. July to September is particularly popular for the Great Migration in the Serengeti, but this is also peak tourist season, so flights and accommodations tend to be more expensive. Traveling during the shoulder months of May and November can offer lower fares, fewer crowds, and still relatively dry weather. It’s generally best to avoid the heavy rainy season from March to May, as some roads may become impassable and park access limited.
