Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Guwahati and Dar Es Salaam. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Dar es Salaam is during the dry season, from June to October. The weather is cooler and less humid during these months, making it ideal for exploring the city and nearby attractions. Avoid the rainy seasons from March to May and November to December.

Getting from the airport to Dar Es Salaam

Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) is about 12 km from the city center. Taxis are readily available outside the airport and cost around TZS 25,000 to 35,000. The local bus (dala-dala) is a cheaper option at around TZS 500, but can be crowded and confusing for first-time visitors.
