Transportation and parking

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.
