No carrier operates the route non-stop, so you connect through a hub. Emirates and flydubai route via Dubai, pairing an Ahmedabad feeder with a Dubai–Dar es Salaam leg. Kenya Airways connects through Nairobi and Ethiopian Airlines through Addis Ababa—both African hubs offer short onward hops into Tanzania. Qatar Airways via Doha is another comfortable one-stop. Indian carriers can provide the Ahmedabad–Dubai or Ahmedabad–Mumbai feeder to join these networks. For East Africa, the Dubai and Nairobi routings usually give the best balance of price and timing.
Dubai (DXB) is the most frequent and comfortable hub, with multiple daily Ahmedabad departures and a smooth onward Emirates flight. Nairobi (NBO) on Kenya Airways often has the shortest total flying time, since Nairobi–Dar is only about 1h 20m. Addis Ababa (ADD) on Ethiopian gives a wide schedule and competitive fares but layovers can be longer. If you plan to add a safari in Kenya or Ethiopia, choosing that hub lets you build a multi-country trip with a single airline and easier onward booking.
You arrive at Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR), about 12 km southwest of the city centre. Terminal 3 handles most international flights. A taxi to downtown costs roughly 30,000–50,000 TZS (around ₹1,000–₹1,700) and takes 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. For Zanzibar, ferries run from the city centre in about 2 hours, or short connecting flights take roughly 20 minutes. If you are heading on safari to the northern circuit, you may connect via Kilimanjaro (JRO) or Arusha by domestic flight.
Economy fares to East Africa usually include 30 kg checked on Emirates and Qatar, and around 23 kg on some African carriers—confirm per ticket. flydubai's lowest fares may exclude hold baggage. Cabin baggage is typically 7 kg. Note a practical entry requirement: a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if you are arriving from or transiting (over 12 hours) a yellow-fever-risk country, and is sometimes checked even from India—carry it to be safe. Anti-malarial precautions are also widely advised for the region.
Tanzania has two travel peaks. The dry season (June–October) is prime safari time—best wildlife viewing and the Serengeti migration—pushing fares and lodge prices up. December–February is hot and good for Zanzibar beaches and the calving season. The cheapest flights and the long rains fall around April–May, with November short rains also offering value. If your main aim is safari, fly in the dry months and book early; for beaches and budget, the shoulder months work well.
Dar es Salaam is the launchpad for some of Africa's greatest experiences—the Serengeti and Ngorongoro safaris, Mount Kilimanjaro treks and the white-sand beaches of Zanzibar. East Africa also has deep historical ties to the Gujarati and wider Indian community, so Indian restaurants, temples and businesses are common in the city. Combine a few days in Dar or Zanzibar with a northern-circuit safari for a classic two-week trip. The visa is easy, flight times are short by long-haul standards, and the value for a bucket-list safari is hard to beat.
Indian passport holders can apply for a Tanzania e-visa online before travel, and visa-on-arrival is also generally available at Julius Nyerere International—though the e-visa is recommended to avoid airport queues. The ordinary tourist visa allows a stay of up to 90 days and the fee is typically around USD 50. You will need a passport valid for at least 6 months, a return ticket and accommodation details. If transiting a yellow-fever country, carry your vaccination certificate. See our visa guide for current details.
No. All routings have 1 stop via Dubai, Nairobi or Addis Ababa, with total travel time of about 9–13 hours over roughly 4,790 km.
Economy round-trips typically range from about ₹45,000 to ₹80,000 depending on season, with April–May and November cheapest and June–October safari season the dearest.
Yes, but it is easy: an e-visa (recommended) or visa-on-arrival, allowing a stay up to 90 days. The tourist visa fee is typically around USD 50.
Via Nairobi (NBO) on Kenya Airways is often quickest, since the Nairobi–Dar leg is only about 1h 20m, keeping total time near 9 hours with a good connection.
It is required if arriving from or transiting (over 12 hours) a yellow-fever-risk country, and is sometimes checked. Carry your certificate to avoid problems on entry.
Ferries from the city centre take about 2 hours, or a connecting flight from Dar es Salaam (DAR) reaches Zanzibar in roughly 20 minutes.
