Domestic Flight Options Between Arusha and Zanzibar

The Arusha–Zanzibar route is one of Tanzania’s busiest domestic flight corridors, especially for safari travelers finishing a northern circuit and heading to the beach. Precision Air operates direct flights from Arusha Airport (ARK) to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) with a journey time of approximately 1 hour 20 minutes. Tickets start from around $80 one-way depending on season and availability.

Connecting flights via Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) or Dar es Salaam are available with Air Tanzania when direct services are not available. A budget alternative involves a private transfer to Dar es Salaam followed by a ferry to Zanzibar, though this takes considerably longer.

This route links Arusha with Zanzibar. We also offer complete Zanzibar beach and spice tours for travelers arriving from safari.

Thank you! We were met at the airport timeously by our driver, very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, he had to wait about 2 hours for us as our luggage was stuck in the plane. This took a long while to sort out but he waited patiently, letting my husband sit in the car as it was very hot. Thank you for your assistance!😊
