Moshi, a picturesque town nestled on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro in northern Tanzania, is a destination worth exploring. If you’re planning a visit, here’s a detailed guide on how to get there:

The Best Route: Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) – How to Get to Moshi

The most convenient way to reach Moshi is by flying into Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). Airlines like KLM/Kenya Airways, Ethiopian, and Condor operate here. Once you land at JRO Airport, we offer a private transfer to Moshi for $50 one way.While tickets to Kilimanjaro Airport might be a bit pricier compared to flights to Nairobi or Dar es Salaam, it’s a cost-effective choice considering the time saved on bus travel, domestic flight expenses, Kenyan visa costs (if flying to Nairobi), and the potential savings of avoiding two hotel nights in Nairobi or Dar es Salaam.

Arrive Early for Your Trek or Safari – It’s a good idea to arrive at least one day prior to your Kilimanjaro trek or safari departure. This buffer day allows you to settle in and acclimate to the new environment.
