Tanzania Map
Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) in Dar es Salaam is the main international airport and entry to the country. In most cases, your tour operator will pick you up and handle all further arrangements.
Many people fly to Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve), but a road safari is also a good option. The 230km/143mi drive from Dar es Salaam to Mtemere Gate takes about 5 hours*.
*Driving times are only a rough indication. You should always consider the possibility of significant delays.
