Flying from Kilimanjaro
Servicing thousands of travellers who visit Kilimanjaro to explore one of Africa’s greatest attractions, Kilimanjaro International Airport provides an excellent starting point for any journey, connecting to international destinations all over the world.
Passengers flying from Kilimanjaro with Qatar Airways will discover a friendly and welcoming airport that is focused on providing a memorable passenger experience from the moment you step through the doors to the moment you board your flight.
Transportation and parking
The majority of transport to the airport is either via taxi or airport transfers provided by tour and safari operators. There are bus links, but they do tend to be very overcrowded and not suitable for travellers carrying large amounts of luggage or those travelling with children.
A fleet of taxis runs from all the major hotels, resorts and locations around Kilimanjaro, and travel to the airport can be easily arranged through your concierge, hotel reception, or tour operator. Bear in mind that parking at the airport is extremely limited, so taxis and organised airport transfers are the most practical options.
Arriving at Kilimanjaro
Passengers flying from Kilimanjaro with Qatar Airways depart from the main terminal’s Departures lounge. As this is the main starting point for hundreds of thousands of visitors passing through every year, despite its small size the airport is exceptionally well-run and efficient.
While check-in and procedures are relatively hassle free, security is tight, so allow a little extra time before your flight is due to board. During peak holiday seasons the airport can get very crowded, so it may be wise to leave a few hours in advance prior to your departure time.
Facilities and amenities
A small selection of retail outlets sell local crafts, jewellery and souvenirs, for those last-minute gift purchases is available, while a Duty Free shop sells perfumes and some luxury goods.
Food and beverages are primarily on-the-go snacks and fast food, and passengers will find the restaurants to be extremely relaxed and pleasant. ATMs and currency exchange services are available, and Wi-Fi is also on offer in some parts of the airport for a fee.
