Kilimanjaro → Arusha National Park: key facts

Getting from Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO) to Arusha National Park takes about 1h 5min by car on an empty road (65–85 min in heavy traffic) over 53 km via T2 and Momella Road. Our private transfer costs €65 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €95 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits at the exit of the arrivals area of the passenger terminal, after immigration, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Arusha National Park lies on the eastern slopes of Mount Meru, about 53 km from Kilimanjaro International Airport. The route follows the Moshi-Arusha highway (T2) west for about 22 km and then turns north near Usa River onto the Momella road, which climbs gently through villages and farmland to the park. The Momella road is narrower than the highway, so the drive takes longer than the distance suggests. There are no road tolls; park entry fees are paid separately at the gate.

The Momella Gate area is the main entrance on the northern side of the park. From there tracks lead to the Momella Lakes, a group of shallow alkaline lakes often visited by flamingos, and to the forested Ngurdoto Crater in the south of the park. Mount Meru, the second highest mountain in Tanzania, rises to the west, and climbs on it start at Momella. Giraffes, zebras, buffaloes and colobus monkeys are commonly seen. The park is small, so a visit can be combined with a night in Arusha or Usa River.

Public transport: No public transport from the airport to Arusha National Park is listed by the airport: the shared airport shuttle runs only to Moshi or Arusha, and the airport website names no onward connection to the park gates.
