Dar es Salaam → Msasani Peninsula: key facts

Msasani Peninsula from Dar es Salaam Airport (DAR) by private transfer: €50 per car (1–3 people) or €70 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 18 km via T24, roughly 25 min when traffic is light and 25–35 min when it is not.

Meeting point: 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. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Msasani Peninsula, which includes Masaki and the Oyster Bay waterfront, is the city's main area for hotels, embassies and restaurants, about 18 km from the airport by road. The usual route follows Nyerere Road towards the centre and then turns north onto Ali Hassan Mwinyi Road (T26), which runs past Upanga and Namanga into the peninsula. An alternative uses the Tanzanite Bridge across Selander Bay from Ocean Road. Ali Hassan Mwinyi Road carries heavy commuter traffic on weekday mornings and evenings.

The peninsula is a grid of quiet residential streets lined with hotels, apartment blocks and restaurants. Masaki lies in the middle, Oyster Bay and Coco Beach on the eastern shore, and the Sea Cliff area with the Slipway shopping and restaurant complex at the northern tip, from where boats leave for Bongoyo Island. Toure Drive follows the eastern seafront. Most hotels have their own driveway or forecourt, so cars can stop right at the entrance.

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. Reaching Msasani by public transport means changing in the city.
