Finding (Cheap) Flights to Kilimanjaro
Cheap Kilimanjaro flights are not easy to come by.Kilimanjaro has it’s own international airport, Kilimanjaro Airport, but it’s tiny and not many airlines fly to it.The major airlines offering flights to Kilimanjaro airport are the African Air Tanzania, Air Kenya, Ethiopian Airways and the European KLM.But Kilimanjaro airport is not the only international airport in Tanzania.
When departing Tanzania airports an airport tax applies. An airport tax of $30 USD applies to all international flights, and an airport tax of 5,000 TSH applies to all domestic flights.
If the Tanzania airport tax is not included in the price of your ticket, the airport tax must be paid in cash at the airport before departure.
NB: Make sure to bring USD or TSH with you to the airport, as airport exchange rates are notoriously bad
