Getting There
-
Car Rental
If you have rented a car, start your journey from Arusha city center. Head east on the A23 highway towards Moshi. After about 50 kilometers, take the exit towards Kilimanjaro National Park. Follow the signs to the Kilimanjaro Trekking starting point, which is located at the entrance of the park. Make sure to have enough fuel, as the area may have limited service stations.
-
Taxi
For a more direct approach, you can hire a taxi from Arusha. Confirm the fare beforehand, which should range from 70,000 to 100,000 TZS depending on your negotiation skills. The taxi will take you directly to the Kilimanjaro Trekking starting point, approximately one hour away, depending on traffic. Ensure the driver is familiar with the location.
-
Public Transportation (Daladala)
To travel by public transport, find a daladala (shared minibus) heading towards Moshi from Arusha. Get on the one marked 'Moshi'. The fare is typically around 1,500 TZS. Once you reach Moshi, transfer to another daladala that goes to Kilimanjaro National Park or ask the driver for directions to the trekking starting point. The entire journey may take around two hours, depending on waiting times and stops.

Consider booking an organized tour that includes transportation to and from Kilimanjaro Trekking. Many tour operators provide this service, including pick-up from your hotel in Arusha.
