Arrival and Accommodations

Dar es Salaam has one international airport, allowing people to fly from all over the world. Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) is located approximately 10km from the city center.

Hotel options:

Hyatt Regency Dar es Salaam, The Kilimanjaro

Per the itinerary, the Hyatt Regency will serve as the central location for our activities, including the welcome dinner, meeting point for the program visit day, and board meetings. To ensure ease of coordination and travel, all Room to Read staff will be staying on-site. We highly recommend that you also choose to stay at the Hyatt Regency for convenience and a seamless experience.

If you prefer to stay off-site, we suggest the nearby Dar es Salaam Serena.

If you are considering staying somewhere other than the Hyatt Regency, we strongly encourage you to check the traveling time (including commuting traffic) between hotels before booking. Guests will need to arrange their own transfers to and from the Hyatt.

Airport Transfers: Please arrange your airport transfer directly through your hotel.
