How do we get to Arusha, Tanzania?
We know everyone has their favourite airlines and you will be travelling from multiple airports so we ask you to manage your own flights and once you have ticket details, you let us know.

The nearest international airport is Kilimanjaro which is about 45+minutes鈥� drive from the school. One of our Visitors team members will meet you at the airport and you will be transferred directly to the school on one of our school buses.
