Price calculated. Change the date or destination if you like.
Getting from Dar es Salaam Airport (DAR) to Kigamboni takes about 30 min by car on an empty road (30–40 min in heavy traffic) over 20 km via Nelson Mandela Road. Our private transfer costs €50 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €70 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: The driver waits outside the arrivals exit of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal 3 for international flights), after passport control, 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.
Kigamboni is the district on the far side of the harbour entrance, about 20 km from the airport by road. Cars take Nyerere Road and then Nelson Mandela Road towards the port area of Kurasini, where the Nyerere Bridge (also called Kigamboni Bridge) crosses Kurasini Creek into Kigamboni. The bridge is a toll crossing for vehicles. Before the bridge opened in 2016, the only short link was the ferry from Kivukoni, which still runs and carries both cars and foot passengers.
Beyond the bridge, roads lead south-east to the beach strip along the Indian Ocean, where Kipepeo, Mjimwema and other beach lodges sit side by side behind the sand. Further south the coast becomes quieter towards Kimbiji, with long beaches and few buildings. The northern part of Kigamboni, near the ferry landing, is a busy residential area with markets. Many beach lodges have unpaved access lanes, but cars can reach their gates.
Public transport: There is no rail link to the airport and the airport operator (Tanzania Airports Authority) publishes no scheduled airport bus. The DART bus rapid transit corridor along Nyerere Road past the airport (Phase 3) is listed by DART as still in progress, so it is not given here as an option. Kigamboni can also be reached by the passenger and vehicle ferry from Kivukoni in the city centre.

Both. The Nyerere Bridge across Kurasini Creek carries road traffic for a toll, and a ferry still runs between Kivukoni in the city centre and Kigamboni.
The main beach lodges, such as Kipepeo and Mjimwema, line the ocean shore east of the bridge; the coast further south towards Kimbiji is quieter.
No — that is the price for the whole car for up to 3 people. For 4–8 people the van costs €70, also per vehicle.
