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.
Chongqing, the Mountain City, is a truly dynamic metropolis in Southwest China that's famous for its unique geography and rapid development. Built dramatically on steep hills at the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers, the cityscape is a marvel of multi-layered urban design.
Be captivated by stunning architectural features, such as the monorail that runs directly through residential buildings, a testament to the city's innovative planning. Immerse yourself in the city’s rich Bayu culture and history by exploring the charming, preserved alleyways and ancient centres. While you're there, you must sample the region’s most iconic culinary delight: the fiery and flavourful Chongqing hotpot, famed for its distinct spicy-numb sensation.
To admire remarkable visuals, visit the stilt building complex of Hongya Cave. It glows with dazzling colours after dark, providing a perfect photo opportunity. Be sure to take a ride on the Yangtze River Cableway for a breath-taking, aerial outlook of the city's towering skyline and the rivers below.
