Looking to travel from Arusha to other cities in northern Tanzania? We offer private car transfers to nearby towns, along with assistance in booking buses or shuttles to further destinations. Whether you’re heading to Moshi, Karatu, or even Nairobi, we ensure your journey is smooth and stress-free. Our service includes door-to-door pickup, reliable vehicles, and flexible options including both private and public transport.
Arusha ⇆ Moshi
Moshi is one of the most common destinations from Arusha, especially for travelers heading to Mount Kilimanjaro. The drive takes about 1.5 to 2 hours and can be arranged at any time. While buses are available, private transfers are faster, more comfortable, and ideal if you’re carrying luggage or have a specific schedule.
Arusha ⇆ Karatu
Karatu is the main gateway to Ngorongoro and northern safari circuits. Located about 2 to 2.5 hours from Arusha, it’s a popular transfer point for travelers heading toward Lake Eyasi or back from a safari. We arrange private transfers with experienced drivers who know the best routes, and we can also help with hotel pickups or early departures.
Arusha ⇆ Nairobi
Heading to Kenya? We help travelers arrange cross-border transfers to Nairobi, including assistance with immigration at the Namanga border. The total journey takes around 5 to 6 hours depending on traffic and border wait times. You can choose between private cars, tourist shuttles, or even shared minibuses — and we’ll guide you through the best option for your needs.
Arusha ⇆ Babati or Kondoa
Less common but increasingly popular with off-the-beaten-path travelers, Babati and Kondoa can be reached in 3–5 hours. These towns offer a glimpse into rural Tanzanian life and ancient rock paintings in Kondoa. Private transfers are recommended for comfort, though we can help with public transport if preferred.
Arusha ⇆ Dodoma
For those heading to the capital, Dodoma can be reached by long-distance bus or private vehicle. The trip takes around 8 hours by road. While flights are available, many travelers opt for ground transport to see more of the country. We assist with bus ticket bookings and also offer private long-distance transfers for those who prefer flexibility and comfort.
Arusha ⇆ Mwanza (via Singida & Shinyanga)
Although most travelers fly this route, there is the possibility to travel by road through Singida and Shinyanga. It’s a very long drive (around 15+ hours total) and best suited for overland travelers or those avoiding flights. We can help plan this in stages with overnight stops and can also assist in booking intercity buses.
Need Help Booking a Bus or Shuttle?
If you’re on a budget or prefer shared rides, we also assist with booking regional buses and shuttle services. These range from luxury coaches to basic public buses, and it’s helpful to have local support to ensure availability, seating, and a proper pickup location.
