The ultimate guide for Kilimanjaro International Airport
Make the most of your international travels with our comprehensive Kilimanjaro Airport Guide. From navigating the airport to experiencing the beauty of Tanzania, we have you covered for a seamless arrival and stay. Discover all you need to know to ensure a stress-free journey. We want your arrival through Kilimanjaro International Airport to be easy. So here is your guide to navigating the airport and making the most of your time in our beautiful country.
First off, relax… although it is an international airport, JRO or Kia as the locals call it, is not a big airport. When you arrive at Kia Airport, you’ll disembark from your flight and proceed to the immigration area through a heath screening which checks for temperature only.
Make sure you have all of your documents ready because lines can be long and the arrivals section is not fully air conditioned. Here you will need your passport and visa, or documentation needed to obtain the visa ready to present to the immigration officers.
Once you’ve been cleared, you can collect your luggage and proceed to the customs screening area and then further to the airport building exit.
There are several options for ground transportation from the Kilimanjaro International airport to your final destination. Taxis are available outside the terminal, and you can negotiate the fare with the drivers. It’s a good idea to ensure they understand your destination and agree on the price before you get into the taxi.
There are several hotels near Kilimanjaro Airport, as well as in the nearby towns of Arusha and Moshi. If you haven’t already made arrangements, you can check with the airport information desk for recommendations and assistance with booking a room. Airport Planet Lodge is located 10 minutes from JRO and you can reach them at any time 24 hours a day.
If you need to exchange currency, there are several banks and exchange bureaus located within the airport terminal just after you clear customs. It’s a good idea to exchange a small amount of money at the airport to cover immediate expenses like transportation and food. However, most properties will accept payment in US $, or Euros in addition to the local currency i.e. Tanzanian Shillings.
There are several restaurants and cafes located in the airport terminal, serving a variety of local and international cuisine. You can also find shops selling snacks and beverages along the way. Nearby Lodges offer fresh hot meals and fine dining options for the entire group or family if you have the time to sit and dine.
Kilimanjaro Airport offers free Wi-Fi for passengers, so upon entering the terminal, find the free internet service to notify friends and family that you arrived safely. Likewise it is a great opportunity to stay connected while you wait for your flight on departure too.
After clearing the first security counter, you go to the check in window t drop off luggage and pick up boarding passes. Then you go through immigration and get your passport stamped before heading to the second security scanning point.
After the second scan, now you can relax in the departure lounge and enjoy some last minute shopping, Wifi or a quick meal before your flight.
