On this page we will guide you on how to get your discount Flight to Zanzibar from Dar Es Salaam or any other town in East Africa. To find a cheap flight to Zanzibar , you have to start shopping around early. Don't hope for last minute or similar flight deals to Zanzibar Tanzania. In Africa, if you want to fly cheap you book early, period. Here is a shortcut to your flight to Zanzibar from Dar Es Salaam.
There are several flights from Dar to Zanzibar. Air Excel, Regional Air, Precision Air and ZanAir, Coastal Aviation, Tropical Air, Sky Aviation, Zantas Air Services, Flightlink Air Charters, Ilyas Aviation, Northern Air, Auric Air, Kenya Airways, Uganda Airways, Air Tanzania, Kili Air, Tanzanair, SafariAirLink, Fly540, to mention a few Tanzania scheduled and charter operators. As of January 2009, Coastal was charging $160.- USD for a return flight from Dar with a 15kg baggage limit preferably in soft bags. The planes are small so luggage can be an issue if you're doing a lot of shopping. A Precision Air ticket will cost a bit less but with a more generous baggage allowance. Zanzibar has two (2) departure taxes. Domestic flights: 5,000 Tsh (or $5) and International flights: $30 (see GET OUT below). Taxi There are a number of taxis waiting for passengers when you exit the terminal. Despite having a "list" of prices for the various tourist destinations on the island, prices are negotiable. Although you can arrange a pick up at the airport with your hotel or tour company, even a little negotiating will get you a better price than the inflated one quoted by most hotels. However, some Stone Town hotels do offer free shuttle service from the airport. Get around Although taxis are available, you will probably want to walk through Stone Town. After all, most of the alleys are barely wide enough for a bike to pass. Journeying outside Stone Town is most comfortably done with a taxi or a private car, however a network of dalla-dallas, small minivans, exist which service all the major villages on the island. The adventurous, armed with a phrase book and map, will experience a wonderful side of Zanzibar life, which all too often is just another photograph to the typical tourist zooming past. A private car is of course a lot more expensive than a dalla-dalla, $15 compared to $3. It will take you about 2 hours to get to Nungwi, on the northern tip of the island. Many hotels are happy to arrange a taxi for a transfer to the harbor, airport, spice tour or to another hotel. Beware, however, as they get commissions from taxis and so the prices tend to be higher. For example, your hotel might say that an airport transfer is $10, while out on the streets of Stone Town there are so many taxi drivers needing business you'll probably be able to negotiate the price down to $6. Avoid street hawkers and sellers by ignoring them completely. Do not even say hello or make eye contact. It is the most efficient way of getting rid of them, some may be dangerous. If they try to sell you a tour, you may never see him or her again. Book from an office, and make sure to state that you walked in without help from anyone. ____________________________________________________ Nairobi Kenya Flight Guide ____________________________________________________ Dar es Salaam to Musoma Flight Dar ers Salaam to Selous Flight Dar es Salaam to Entebbe Flight Dar es Salaam to Arusha Flight Johannesburg to Dar es Salaam Flight Dar es Salaam to Kilimanjaro Flight Nairobi to Seychelles Mahe Flight ____________________________________________________ Arusha Flight Guide ____________________________________________________ Arusha to Dar es Salaam Flights Arusha to Lake Manyara Flights ____________________________________________________ Mombasa Flight Guide ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ Dar es salaam Flight Guide ____________________________________________________ Dar es Salaam to Entebbe Uganda Dar es Salaam to Nairobi Flights Dar es Salaam to Selous National Park Dar es Salaam to Zanzibar Flights ____________________________________________________ Kilimanjaro Flight Guide ____________________________________________________ From Dar Es Salaam to Zanzibar Flight Back to Uganda Visit and Travel Guide Home Page
