Flying from Dar es Salaam
Just 12 kilometres from the centre of Dar es Salaam is Julius Nyerere International Airport, one of north Africa’s fastest growing airports and a major transport hub for the region. Named after the nation’s first president, the airport started out as a provincial landing point for cargo planes, and has now expanded to welcome both leisure and business travellers from all over the world.
Its international status means that it connects with other major airports in the Middle East and Europe. Passengers flying from Dar es Salaam with Qatar Airways will find this to be an efficient and friendly airport, with a real personal touch that makes it a charming starting point for any journey.
Transportation and parking
One of the easiest ways to get to the airport from the centre of Dar es Salaam is to take the frequent bus and coach links that run directly to the terminals. However, if you have a lot of luggage then it’s advisable to book a taxi through your hotel reception or concierge service.
The airport is within the city boundaries, so journey times are relatively short. If you travel during the morning rush hour in particular then you may need to allow extra time for your journey, as the roads around the airport can get quite congested.
At the moment, only short-term parking is available at the airport, so it is advisable to make alternative arrangements for vehicle storage if you are going away for a prolonged period.
Arriving at the airport
Passengers flying from Dar es Salaam with Qatar Airways depart from the Departure lounge in Terminal 2. This is the international departures area, and is well organised for speedy check-ins and security checks. While the process is relatively smooth, the airport does recommend that you allow at least three hours before your flight is due to depart, as security checks are thorough.
VIP and First Class passengers have use of a private lounge, while the public waiting area is spacious and comfortable.
Facilities and amenities
The airport has several small restaurants and food outlets, where you can purchase light snacks, fast food and beverages. A limited retail sector provides travellers with books, magazines and other travel essentials, while a Duty Free shop is also open for those last-minute gifts.
Family changing areas are available, and limited Wi-Fi access is provided in some parts of the terminals.
