Getting to Tanzania
Airports & carriers

Getting from Nairobi to Arusha
Shuttle bus
There is a twice daily shuttle bus between Arusha & Nairobi. They depart at 08:00 and 13:30 from major hotels in both cities. The journey takes about 4 - 5 hours and costs $25 each way. African Environments can book a seat on the bus for you.
Private Road Transfer
We can also arrange a private road transfer to or from Nairobi - this costs about US$350 for a minibus.
Scheduled flights
There are scheduled flights from Nairobi and from Arusha out to the National Parks. Schedules tend to vary and are not daily. Please contact us for details.
Charter Flights
By far the nicest way to get around. Private charter flights are available in Tanzania with aircraft ranging form 4 to 50 seaters. This is not a cheap way to travel but if you have the budget then it is by far the best way to make the most of a limited time in Tanzania.

Travel Insurance
No Limits Adventures highly recommends that our participants purchase Trip Cancellation Insurance and review their current medical insurance plans to understand if they are sufficiently covered when traveling internationally. We further recommend that you acquire International Medical Insurance with Evacuation Coverage. Please see details on our 'Travel Insurance' Page.
Prescriptions
If you take prescription medications that you need to bring, be sure to have a plentiful supply and the doctor’s prescription in case something happens to them. Along those lines, it is best to carry medications in your carry-on bag in case of lost luggage. If you wear prescription glasses or contacts, we advise that you bring a spare set.
