Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) near Dar es Salaam is the primary hub; secondary airports serve Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar. Immigration is straightforward and relatively quick; staff are experienced with international visitors, and ground transport to lodges or safari camps is readily arranged.
