 | Moshi Transportation | Tips 1 - 4 of 4 |  |
Popular Transportation | Other Transportation Tips | All Tips (4) The Dala Dala has it's equivalent in many third world countries. The best description of it I heard was given by Rob as: a small van which you flag down, give them the smallest amount of money there is and they take you somewhere, squashed. This just about sums it up. A journey costs 300 TSH...which is about 20p or so and you should be prepared to share your ride with chickens, lots of people, and you may end up on the roof, or hanging out of the open door. Something to remember when the bus driver drives past you proclaiming the bus to be full...you will know a whole new meaning of the word full after a ride in one of these! Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Getting around moshi is very easy, the dala dala is probably your best bet. Very cheap (about 5p UK) but is very shaky and you must be prepared for them to break down. Its the whole african experience! Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Moshi is serviced by Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA or JRO) which is about 45 mins west of the town. Most hotels will pick you up at the airport on request.
KLM is the only international airline flying into Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) from outside Africa. KLM operates nonstop flights from Amsterdam (AMS) into JRO. Departing AMS at 10:55am and arriving JRO 9:30pm same day, daily except Sun and Mon.
JRO is also serviced by international flights from Nairobi and Dar. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

To really gain the true 'experience' of a local in Moshi (and around Tanzania, in general), hop on the local mode of transportation, the DalaDala.
DalaDalas are minivans converted into a makeshift bus that piles in as many locals (and all their goods!) as they could possibly keep, and transports them around town.
For something like 65 cents (U.S.) you can hop in a van at the various stops around town and it can take you anywhere you want to go.
Takes some getting used to, as you can imagine.
It was a riot seeing these DalaDalas zipping through the turnpikes with piles of passengers (legs and feet hanging out the windows), and it wasn't uncommon to see folks 'lap' it inside.
It was a cheap mode of transportation....so cheap even the chickens used it to get from 'Point A to Point B!' Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
