About This Airport:
Dar-es-Salaam Airport
We were not allowed inside the Airport lobby so we had to stay outside. Security is OK but you have to have a tireless fight with mosquitoes. - rowlandmichael
Recent Review
"Me and a group of friends stayed at Julius Nyerere 'International' Airport one night in February this year waiting for a flight in a middle of the night. When we arrived around 10pm we were not allowed inside the terminal building before the check-in would start (2:30am). There were limited number of steel chairs outside and most of them occupied already. It was passible to snooze a little, but no real sleep. Inside its even worse: just two rows of seats for 'physically challenged persons' :) occupied of course. we had to sleep on the floor, but the good thing is no one bothers you. Toilets were totally fine if youre not too picky.
All the shops were closed when we arrived, but luckily tax- free is open also at 3am, so its possible to get some snacks and water.
No mosquitoes at this time of the year."
