Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) is about 12 km south-west of central Dar es Salaam on Nyerere Road, 30 minutes to 1 hour by car depending on traffic, with the Zanzibar ferry terminal on the harbour front about 13 km away and Bagamoyo about 80 km north, roughly 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours.
Routes we run in Dar es Salaam
Private transfer routes are listed for Dar es Salaam, from Julius Nyerere Airport: destinations include Dar es Salaam Ferry Terminal, Bagamoyo and Dar es Salaam City Centre. Each route has its own page with the distance, the drive time, the vehicles and the booking form; if your hotel is not named, book the nearest and tell the desk the exact address - the price is per vehicle and rarely changes for a nearby address.
The rapid bus system runs on dedicated lanes along the main corridors, dala-dala minibuses and taxis cover the rest, and the new standard-gauge railway links the city with Morogoro and Dodoma. Fast ferries cross to Zanzibar in about two hours. A private car is the simplest way to beat the long queues at the airport, to meet a ferry on time or to make the two-hour drive north to Bagamoyo.
Vehicles
Sedan for one to three passengers, minivan or GMC for up to seven, Sprinter for eight to thirteen; Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with proper luggage space. Child seats on request at no extra charge. The desk recommends the size once it knows how many of you there are and how many bags.
How the transfer works
Booking takes one WhatsApp message: flight, date, passengers, hotel. The confirmation carries the price, the vehicle and the meeting arrangement in writing. At the airport the driver is at the point the confirmation named, with a name board; waiting time after landing is included, tolls and parking are included, and there is nothing to pay the driver on the day.
Our WhatsApp desk answers day and night in Arabic and English, confirms each booking in writing and stays reachable for the whole trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
How much does a transfer from the airport to Dar es Salaam cost?
Prices are fixed per vehicle and shown on each route page and in its booking form; the figure you see is the figure you pay, confirmed on WhatsApp before you travel. A family or group pays for the vehicle, not per person.
Where do I meet the driver at the airport?
It varies by airport and terminal: a set meeting point inside arrivals, a specific exit, or the driver with a name board just after customs. Your WhatsApp confirmation gives the exact place, the driver's name and a phone number.
What if my flight is delayed?
Nothing to do - every transfer is flight-tracked, the pickup moves with the real landing time, and waiting time is included.
Is the transfer private or shared?
Private. The vehicle carries your party only, from the arrivals door to your address, with no other passengers.
Which vehicle should I choose?
Sedan for up to three with normal luggage, minivan or GMC for up to seven, Sprinter for up to thirteen. If unsure, tell the desk the number of passengers and bags and it recommends one before you pay.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes - say the ages when you book and the driver brings the right seats or boosters at no extra charge.
Is there a bus, train or metro from the airport to Dar es Salaam?
The rapid bus system runs on dedicated lanes along the main corridors, dala-dala minibuses and taxis cover the rest, and the new standard-gauge railway links the city with Morogoro and Dodoma. Fast ferries cross to Zanzibar in about two hours. A private car is the simplest way to beat the long queues at the airport, to meet a ferry on time or to make the two-hour drive north to Bagamoyo. For anyone with luggage, a family or a late flight, the private car is the simpler choice.
Can I book the return to the airport too?
Yes. Send the departure flight and the hotel; the driver collects you with a comfortable margin, and both directions sit on one confirmation.
Do you run transfers to other cities from Dar es Salaam?
Yes - intercity transfers by private car or van are booked the same way; tell the desk the destination and it quotes a fixed price for the whole vehicle.
Which language does the driver speak?
It depends on the country, the city and the time of the transfer, so we do not promise a particular language. Tell us your preference and we do our best; the WhatsApp desk always works in Arabic and English.
How and when do I pay?
After the written confirmation, never before. The desk explains the payment options on WhatsApp once the price, the vehicle and the meeting point are confirmed.
Can I change or cancel?
Yes, in the same WhatsApp conversation. The terms depend on how close to the pickup the change comes, and the desk states them before any payment.
