To get to Tanzania, most people fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), which is situated between Arusha and Moshi, about 30km/19mi from Moshi and 50km/31mi from Arusha. It is also possible to fly into Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) in Dar es Salaam and fly on to Arusha Airport (ARK) or Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). In most cases, your tour operator will pick you up from the airport and handle all further transportation from there.

Rubondo Island National Park on Lake Victoria is remote and best reached by small aircraft.
