By air
Arusha is served by two airports. The main airport, Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), has regular flights to Amsterdam with KLM, and to Addis Ababa, Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar and Nairobi. Kilimanjaro Airport is approximately 60km (45 minutes) from the city center. A taxi ride costs around 50 USD but many airlines run a shuttle service for free or 10 USD.

Arusha Municipal Airport (ARK) is on the outskirts of the city but only runs domestic flights, mostly to Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam, and charters.

By coach
Arusha can be reached by express coach from Nairobi (Kenya, 6 hours), Dar es Salaam (12 hours), and Kampala (Uganda, 17 hours) with direct services also available from Mwanza, Tanga, and Lushoto. Some companies offer first-class tickets which are slightly more comfortable although it is worth noting that standards are generally comparable with most African bus services. Moshi can be reached in about one hour. There are various shuttle buses between Arusha and Moshi which are more comfortable than coaches.

Local transport
For transport between Kilimanjaro International Airport and the Ngurdoto Mountain Lodge, delegates can use dedicated shuttle buses.

The main mode of public transport in and around Arusha is daladala (minibuses). Although cheap they become very cramped and safety is a serious consideration. Taxis are the preferred mode of transport in Arusha. It is best to agree a price before leaving for your destination.
