Transportation to Airport from Dar Es Salaam City Center

Julius Nyerere Intl. Airport

It takes about 35-40 minutes to go to Julius Nyerere International Airport, which is 12 kilometers from the city center. When Dar Es Salaam's population started to get crowded, alternatives in public transportation are considered. Buses, minibuses, taxis, trampolines, tuktuks ... But it can be easily observed that the buses that serve are very old. These buses which are considered to be old-fashioned in Europe are the most important new transport vehicle here.

Dar Es Salaam is the largest port in Tanzania. This is why sea transportation has developed in this region.
