Permit is 300/= and if you are there early in the morning it could take you less than 15mins to process it.

Night bus to TZ, depends on where you are going. If going to Dar and you take the night bus you will reach namanga and sleep till morning then proceed. Else you can take the day bus which leave at 6am or thereabouts. Buses - Dar Express, Akamba, Kampala coach etc.

If going to Mwanza side then a night bus (Akamba 10.30 pm. I think there are other buses. find out.) will be good cause the trip is like 14hours long.
Else you can take the early (5 - 6 am) nissan shuttles to Kisii or Migori then do a quick connection to sirari border. If there by 2pm you will be in luck cause there are many buses to mwanza from there. After 3pm it becomes harder to find onward connection to mwanza.

If arusha, you can take the nissans near jack and jill super market pale OTC and they get you to namanga then a connection to Arusha. Alternatively you can take a Riverside Shuttle (next to jevanjee garden) at 8am or 2 pm and you will be in arusha in 6 hours.

Enjoy your trip.


Thanks for this insight. I am tending to travel by Bus to Dar. You have metioned - Dar Express, Akamba, Kampala coach etc, where are Dar Express located in nairobi? What is the usual/general bus fare to Dar? Are the busses Airconditioned? What would be the fare to Dar in the conditioned ones. If they leave at around 6am and the journey to Dar is about 14 hours from nairobi, will they reach Dar the same day sine you have indicated that night transport in illegal in TZ or what happens when night falls before we are in Dar?

I have actually done this trip daytime,Akamba - 7am dep, 8pm arrival.(11hrs)

Dar Express is at River Road Karibu na mahali Nagin Patni Was before,

Costs should be anything from 3k now, one way.These r not air conditioned, but the Scandenevias are, but i dont know if they still do the Dar route, if they do it will set u back quite a bit because of the luxury-ness of the bus, they r found next to Dar express on River road too.

@Seles83...travel from Dar to Zanzibar by boat/yatch...dont know the exact name takes two hours. The boats leave by 8 in the morning and come back latest at 4. As for the rates, you being a kenyan, they charge you like a tourist.Unless u can get a brother or sister from tanzania and use their name for travel and they also do the purchase of tickets for u , then u wont evade the tourist charges.

@oops, @seles....the tsh 20000 is just for the boat/yatch.If non bongo man, they charge you like 50 dollars coz they say you are touring zanzibar.Actually zanzibar has a govt of its own and even the tz guys hardly go there..actually very few of them have been to zanzibar before...so when buying tickets they ensure you talk in swa and war unto u if u speak your swa, they piga u with the non resident rate.
