Seasonal Travel Advice

Dar es Salaam experiences high travel demand throughout the year, with particularly busy periods during Christmas and New Year, Easter, Tanzanian public holidays and the July to October safari season. Passenger numbers also increase during school holidays and the annual Hajj travel period. The city has a tropical climate with two rainy seasons. The long rains (March to May) and short rains (October to December) can occasionally affect road conditions, so allow additional travel time when travelling to the airport. Traffic in Dar es Salaam is well known for being heavy, especially during weekday commuting hours. Congestion is typically at its worst between 6:30 AM and 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. If you’re travelling to Julius Nyerere International Airport, leaving well in advance is strongly recommended, particularly during rainy weather or public holidays. For international flights, arriving at least three hours before departure is recommended. For domestic flights, arriving around two hours before departure is generally sufficient.
