Looking for cheap flights from Pune to Dar es Salaam?

Whether you want a Pune to Dar es Salaam non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Pune-Dar es Salaam fare is one search away.
There is no PNQ–DAR non-stop, so you connect en route, usually with a Pune or Mumbai feeder. Strong options include Kenya Airways (via Nairobi), Ethiopian Airlines (via Addis Ababa) and Gulf carriers like Emirates (via Dubai). African carriers tend to offer the most direct East-Africa feel with a single onward leg into Dar, while Gulf routings add comfort and frequency but a longer overall journey. Compare African and Gulf options, since pricing can swing significantly by season and how far ahead you book.
The cleanest path is often via Mumbai (BOM), a short feeder from Pune, then onward to Dar. For an African routing, Nairobi (NBO) on Kenya Airways and Addis Ababa (ADD) on Ethiopian both offer frequent, fairly short final legs into Dar es Salaam. Keep at least a 2.5–3 hour layover, and if changing in Mumbai between domestic and international terminals, allow time to re-check bags. Your Tanzania visa requirements apply regardless of which hub you transit.
Julius Nyerere International (DAR) sits about 12 km from central Dar es Salaam, a 20–40 minute taxi ride costing roughly TZS 30,000–50,000. Dar is the springboard for Zanzibar, reachable in about 20 minutes by a short flight or roughly 1.5–2 hours by fast ferry, and a gateway to northern safari circuits via onward flights to Kilimanjaro and Arusha. Carry some US dollars for arrival expenses and confirm whether your safari or beach onward leg is separately ticketed.
African and Gulf carriers typically include 23–30 kg checked baggage in economy to Dar, with more in business. If your Pune–Mumbai feeder is a separate domestic ticket, its allowance may be lower and bags may not through-check, so confirm at booking. Travellers heading on safari often pack extra gear; pre-paying additional baggage is cheaper than airport excess. The cheapest fare buckets can restrict changes and seat selection, so weigh flexibility against the saving for a multi-leg African trip.
Tanzania's prime travel windows are the dry June–October safari season and the December–February beach season, when fares peak. The best value comes in the shoulder months of April–May (long rains) and November. As a guide, economy round-trips from Pune typically run ₹50,000–₹90,000 depending on season and routing. Booking 6–10 weeks ahead, and earlier for the peak safari season, generally secures the lowest fares.
Dar es Salaam has deep India ties, with a large community of Indian origin, plenty of Indian restaurants and temples, and strong trade links. For travellers it is mainly a gateway: a couple of days in the city before flying or ferrying to Zanzibar's beaches and Stone Town, or heading north to the Serengeti and Kilimanjaro. The warm Indian Ocean coast, vibrant Kariakoo market and easygoing pace make it a comfortable launchpad for a wider Tanzanian safari-and-beach itinerary.
Indian passport holders need a visa for Tanzania, available either as an online e-visa applied for before travel or, for many nationalities including Indians, as a visa on arrival at the airport — though securing the e-visa in advance is strongly recommended to avoid delays. A single-entry tourist visa is commonly issued for stays up to 90 days. Carry a passport valid for at least 6 months, proof of onward travel, and check yellow-fever certificate rules. See our visa guide before booking.
