How to Get There
Fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) — we handle the rest from there.
The best airport to fly into is Kilimanjaro International Airport (code JRO), and we can arrange a transfer from the airport to your hotel and back (subject to additional cost). If you cannot find flights to JRO, you can fly to Nairobi (Kenya) or Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and connect by a short flight or a bus transfer to Moshi or Arusha, where all our climbs begin — about 45 km from the airport.
