The following airlines operate regular services between Mysore 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.

Dar es Salaam offers a vibrant coastal experience with a mix of cultures and bustling markets. Expect a significant change in pace from the relatively laid-back atmosphere of Mysore.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Dar es Salaam is during the dry season, from June to October. You'll experience pleasant temperatures and lower humidity, ideal for exploring the city and nearby beaches. 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 centre. Taxis are readily available outside the airport and cost approximately $20-30. The Airport Bus (shuttle) is a cheaper option at around $1, but it can be slow due to multiple stops.

Things to do in Dar Es Salaam

Visit the National Museum of Tanzania to learn about the country's history and culture. Explore the vibrant Kariakoo Market, one of the largest markets in East Africa. Relax on the beaches of Bongoyo Island, a short ferry ride from the city. Take a day trip to the Saadani National Park, where you can see wildlife along the coast.

Food to try

Try Nyama Choma, grilled meat (usually goat or chicken), a Tanzanian staple. Sample Ugali, a stiff maize porridge, often served as an accompaniment to stews or grilled meat. Indulge in fresh seafood like grilled prawns or fish, readily available at coastal restaurants.

Local tips

Bargain respectfully when shopping in local markets; it's part of the culture. Learn a few basic Swahili phrases like 'Jambo' (hello) and 'Asante' (thank you); locals appreciate the effort. Be aware of your surroundings and take precautions against petty theft, especially in crowded areas.
