Kilimanjaro International Airport is your friendly and efficient starting point for connecting to destinations globally after exploring this great African attraction. As you prepare for departure, you will find the airport is well-run, despite its smaller size, offering a smooth experience for travellers flying from Kilimanjaro.
For transport to the airport, taxis and pre-arranged airport transfers via tour and safari operators are the most practical choice, as parking is extremely limited. Although bus links exist, they are often crowded and less suitable if you have significant luggage or are travelling with children. Always allow extra time for check-in and security procedures, especially during peak holiday periods, as security is tight.
Once through, you can relax in the Departures lounge. Facilities and amenities include ATMs and currency exchange services for your travel needs. Browse the selection of retail outlets offering local crafts and souvenirs, or visit the Duty Free shop for perfumes and luxury goods. Quick, on-the-go snacks and fast food are readily available at the relaxed restaurants. Wi-Fi access is also on offer in some parts of the airport for a fee, keeping you connected before you board your flight.
Islamabad, Pakistan's capital, welcomes you with its surprisingly green spaces and beautifully planned, wide, tree-lined boulevards. This thriving cultural, commercial and financial hub perfectly blends tradition with innovation and forward development, offering you a genuinely warm welcome. You will discover a vibrant and fascinating city, full of unique sights that make it a truly memorable destination in Asia.
For a peaceful escape, explore Islamabad’s beautiful parks, which offer a tranquil respite from the urban pace and city noise. Head up to Daman-e-Koh for a wonderful vantage point and panoramic view across the metropolis valley, an incredibly popular spot with a collection of very good restaurants for dining. You should also visit the vast Fatima Jinnah Park, which is considered one of the largest parks in South East Asia, providing huge expanses of open space for relaxation and recreation.
Delve into Pakistan's rich history and transport heritage at the Golra Pakistan Railways Heritage Museum, which celebrates the country's 19th-century rail infrastructure that was key to its growth as an international trading centre.
