How To Get To Zanzibar

Most travelers reach Zanzibar by air, flying into Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) either directly from home, or via a short connecting flight from Kilimanjaro International Airport, Dar es Salaam, or Arusha if you're combining Zanzibar with a mainland safari or Kilimanjaro climb.

An alternative is the passenger ferry from Dar es Salaam, which takes around two hours — a reasonable option if you're already on the coast, though flying is faster and more comfortable if you're coming directly from Arusha or a safari park.

We arrange the flight or ferry connection as part of any combined itinerary, and can advise on where on the island to base yourself depending on your arrival point. Contact us with your travel dates and we'll sort out the logistics.
