Tanzania has two distinct tourist seasons shaped by its short rains (October to December) and long rains (March to May). The dry season from June to October is peak safari time and peak pricing. Fly in January to February or November for the best balance of decent weather, lower fares, and manageable crowds at the parks.
| Month | Price Band | Demand | Travel note |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | Mid | Medium | Dry and warm; good wildlife viewing, moderate fares. |
| February | Budget | Low | Cheapest month; excellent Serengeti calving season. |
| March | Budget | Low | Long rains begin; some parks less accessible, lowest prices. |
| April | Budget | Low | Peak rainy season; lush landscapes, very few tourists. |
| May | Budget | Low | Rains easing; budget fares, uncrowded parks. |
| June | Mid | Medium | Dry season starts; migration moves north, fares rising. |
| July | Peak | High | Peak safari month; Mara River crossings, highest fares. |
| August | Peak | High | Wildebeest migration peak; book 3+ months ahead. |
Julius Nyerere International Airport, IATA DAR · 12 km from Dar es Salaam city centre.
Julius Nyerere International is Tanzania's busiest gateway, handling the majority of intercontinental traffic. Terminal 2 handles international arrivals and departures, while Terminal 1 serves domestic routes. Immigration queues can be slow during evening peak arrivals, so build in extra time if you have an onward domestic connection.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Metered taxi | TZS 25,000–40,000 | 20–40 min to city centre |
| Ride-hailing (Bolt/Uber) | TZS 18,000–30,000 | 20–40 min to city centre |
| Airport shuttle bus | TZS 3,000–5,000 | 45–70 min, multiple stops |
Kilimanjaro International Airport, IATA JRO · 46 km from Arusha · 50 km from Moshi.
Kilimanjaro International serves the northern safari circuit and is the preferred entry point for travellers heading to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, or the mountain itself. The airport is compact and relatively calm compared to DAR, with a straightforward immigration process. Most major safari operators offer direct lodge transfers from the arrivals hall.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-arranged safari transfer | USD 50–90 per vehicle | 45–60 min to Arusha |
Make every shilling go further on your Tanzania trip by splitting these extras at checkout.
Choose a window seat for Kilimanjaro views on your approach into JRO.
Safari gear, hiking boots, and dive equipment add up fast — book extra kilos early.
Cover emergency evacuation from remote parks — essential for Tanzania safari trips.
Bundle a Stone Town riad or Serengeti tented camp with your flight and spread the cost.
Pre-book your lodge transfer from JRO or DAR and avoid negotiating on arrival.
Stay connected on safari with a local Tanzanian data SIM sorted before you land.
Most international travellers to Tanzania fly in from European hubs, the Gulf, or southern Africa. London, Dubai, and Johannesburg generate the highest booking volumes, with a growing number of travellers connecting through Doha and Nairobi.

A handful of major carriers dominate Tanzania's international routes, connecting Dar es Salaam, Kilimanjaro, and Zanzibar to hubs across Europe, the Gulf, and Africa. Here are the airlines worth comparing first.
Daily service from Dubai to DAR and ZNZ, with strong onward connections from Europe, the US, and Asia via its Dubai hub.
Flies Doha to Dar es Salaam daily; excellent for European and Asian travellers connecting through Hamad International Airport.
A solid choice for UK travellers, routing via Nairobi with good baggage allowances suited to safari equipment loads.
Connects Frankfurt to Dar es Salaam via codeshare partners; reliable for German-speaking and central European travellers.
Serves Tanzania via Paris and Nairobi; good for French and southern European travellers with competitive fares in shoulder season.
These destinations are popular with travellers who also searched for Tanzania, drawn by similar wildlife, culture, or East African adventure.
Safari gateway with world-class city energy.

Everything you need to know before booking your the United Republic of Tanzania flight on Laters.
Emirates and flydubai operate direct flights to Dar es Salaam (DAR) and Zanzibar (ZNZ) from Dubai. Qatar Airways flies direct from Doha to Dar es Salaam. Most other carriers, including British Airways, Lufthansa, and Air France, route via a connecting hub such as Nairobi, Doha, or Dubai. You can compare all available routes on Laters.com.
February is typically the cheapest month to fly to Tanzania, with average one-way fares from European hubs starting around $620. March through May also offer budget pricing as the long rainy season keeps demand low. Avoid July to September and December, when safari season and Christmas holidays push fares up by 50–70%.

Singapore Travel Agent LicenceTA04059Tanzania suits the traveller who plans ahead and books smart. Fares from European hubs are volatile around the dry-season safari months of June through October, and the Christmas-New Year window is predictably expensive. The sweet spot is shoulder season: April to May or November, when prices soften and the parks are quieter. BNPL makes the upfront fare more manageable on what is rarely a cheap ticket.
What you're paying for isn't just the flight, it's the wildebeest migration, Kilimanjaro's summit, and Zanzibar's spice lanes waiting on the other end. February gets you there for $620, while July through September and December will sting you 50 to 70% more, so book 10 to 14 weeks out. Julius Nyerere International can feel stretched at evening peak, with immigration queues that eat into any domestic connection you've got waiting. Once you land, though, a plate of nyama choma costs a fraction of what you'd pay back home, which softens the blow of an international fare that was never going to be cheap.
| September | Peak | High | Still busy; excellent game viewing, premium pricing. |
|---|
| October | Mid | Medium | Short rains arrive; fares drop, wildlife remains good. |
|---|
| November | Budget | Low | Quiet and green; good birding, affordable fares. |
|---|
| December | Peak | High | Christmas-New Year surge; book early or pay a premium. |

Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, IATA ZNZ · 6 km from Stone Town, Zanzibar.
Zanzibar's main airport is a busy but manageable entry point for the island, handling both international charters and domestic connections from Dar es Salaam. The terminal is compact and can feel crowded during peak season. Arrivals are straightforward, and the taxi rank is directly outside the terminal.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Taxi to Stone Town | TZS 15,000–25,000 | 10–15 min |
| Hotel transfer (pre-booked) | USD 20–40 | 15–60 min depending on resort location |
| Dalla-dalla (shared minibus) | TZS 500–1,000 | 20–30 min to Stone Town |

Most nationalities require a visa to enter Tanzania, but the government operates an e-visa system that allows you to apply online before departure. The fee is approximately $50 USD for most passports and processing typically takes a few business days. Always verify the latest requirements at the official Tanzania Immigration Services portal (immigration.go.tz) before booking.
Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) is about 12 km from the city centre. A metered taxi costs roughly TZS 25,000–40,000 and takes 20–40 minutes depending on traffic. Ride-hailing apps like Bolt and Uber also operate from the airport and are generally cheaper. A shared shuttle bus is the most affordable option but takes longer with multiple stops.
The dry season from June to October is the best time for wildlife viewing, particularly the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti. January and February offer excellent conditions in the southern parks and are significantly cheaper. Zanzibar is pleasant year-round but is best visited from June to October or December to February when rainfall is minimal.
There are no non-stop flights from London to Tanzania. With a connection via Dubai, Doha, or Nairobi, total journey time is typically 9.5 to 13 hours depending on the layover. Emirates via Dubai and Qatar Airways via Doha are the most popular routing options from the UK.
Tanzania requires proof of yellow fever vaccination if you are arriving from a country where yellow fever is endemic. Even if not required for your specific origin, many airlines and border officials may request your yellow fever certificate. Carry a physical copy of your International Certificate of Vaccination (yellow card) in your travel documents. Check with your doctor or a travel health clinic well before departure.
