A hotel near Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) is ideal for those arriving late at night and preferring not to drive long distances after a flight. Driving at night on the highway (Moshi – Arusha) is not always ideal, considering poor marking of roads and signage coupled with minimal lighting. These factors combined make night driving less inviting.

Clients planning a flying safari from Arusha (ARK) to Serengeti (instead of driving) can opt for Coastal Air’s morning flight from Kilimanjaro (JRO) to Serengeti. A flight will put you in Serengeti in less time than driving there.
