Is it Safe to Take a Taxi from Kilimanjaro Airport? Your 2026 Guide to a Secure Arrival
Worried about taxi safety at JRO? Our guide reveals the risks & how to book a secure, fixed-price transfer...
Hi! Welcome to Kili Transfers, where your journey begins with comfort, reliability, and a personal touch.
My name is Mubarak Atik, the founder of Kili Transfers. For many years, I worked as a safari guide in Tanzania’s iconic national parks, including Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire. As a guide, I spent much of my time away from home, helping visitors explore the natural wonders of our beautiful country. But during those years, I often found myself standing at the arrival’s gate of Kilimanjaro International Airport, observing firsthand the stress and frustration that travelers experienced trying to secure a reliable taxi to their destination.
I saw the same scene repeated day after day: travelers tired from long flights, searching for safe, affordable transportation, only to be met with confusion, unclear pricing, and sometimes uncomfortable rides. I knew something had to be done to solve this problem — and that’s when the idea for Kili Transfers was born.
At Kili Transfers, we aim to provide travelers arriving in Tanzania with a smooth, stress-free, and dependable taxi service from Kilimanjaro International Airport to their destinations, be it a hotel, safari lodge, or anywhere in the region. Whether you’re here for a once-in-a-lifetime safari, a business trip, or a relaxing vacation, we promise to deliver the highest standard of service, ensuring that your journey starts the right way.

Tumsifu Yesu Kristu.Posted on Manuel WVerified A very reliable transfer operator with good prices and good drivers We had all our transfers (Kilimanjaro/Arusha/Lake Manyara) with Kili Transfers and we can really recommend it. Mubarak, the manager was really reliable and friendly and he gave us good prices as well. All the transfers were well-organized and the pick ups were always on time. All the drivers were friendly and helpful and even gave us some explanations about the places we drove by. 5 stars out of 5.Posted on Skywalker 49Verified Amazing service! Booked transfers for multiple people on different days and times, Kili Tranfers were quick to respond (even with the multiple updates I had to make). I highly recommend when booking transfers in Tanzania!Posted on Aji AVerified Great great great service Great great great service for a very good priceI ask a last minute pick up airport from Kili to moshi, quick reply, good price, despite my plane was 2h late, the driver was there, very nice, a very serious company, so happy that I contact them for my return and also for a friend. It is a pleasure to deal with them, thank you very much,Posted on JoulinVerified Strongly recommended !!! The best service one can ever have! New large car with a very wellcoming and carefull driver. We had a problem with the hotel and no one expected us there, the driver did all that a frend can do: he made a lot of phone calls, searched via internet to find a way to help us with the accomodation, stayed with us about a hour in the midnith. When I decided to search for another place to sleep, I've asked him if he can help us, he made few more phone calls and find a very pritty and clean hotel for even better price. I realy whant to say: THANK YOU GUYS!Posted on Лъчезар КолевVerified Vriendelijk en betaalbare transfer Erg vriendelijke chauffeur en de eigenaar Mubarak heeft ons uitstekend geholpen, ook met het uitzoeken voor een COVID sneltest op het vliegveld van Kilimanjaro. Ook niet onbelangrijk, goed geprijsd!Posted on Klaas HVerified Great and convenient airport transfer Mubarak was there waiting for me with a name tag and he was very friendly and knowledgeable all the way to Moshi. The car is very comfortable and they even provide a bottle of water. Also the price is a way better deal than arranging with hotel/taxi drivers.I highly recommend booking transfer with them.Posted on SylviaVerified Knowledgable driver I booked airport transfer to Moshi on Viator.com. Whenever I contacted them on viator page, their response was immediate. When I arrived at Kilimanjaro airport, the driver was there waiting for me with my name. Arriving in Tanzania for the first time, his smile made me relax as I knew I was in good hands.He kindly waited for me to get some cash from ATM machine and our 45 minutes drive seemed so short. I kept asking him a lot of questions about Tanzania and Moshi region. He was so knowledgeable about his country, I learned so much from him by the time we arrived at my hotel. He even gave me a small luggage tag with kili transfer name on it to remember our ride and I know to book with them for all my future travel to the area.I high recommend per-arranging a ride from the airport in advance and book with this company. Price is right and service is friendly. The ride comes with free lesson about the country.Posted on Hamham730Verified Very good service I got a transport for Moshi to Kilimanjaro airport, the service was excellent, the driver came and pick me up from the hotel on time, and we arrived earlier than expected in the airport. And the journey to the airport was very pleasant.Posted on Stefanos XVerified Professional, Friendly, In Time The transfer was comfortable, in time and the driver very friendly. Each of us even got a bottle of water for free just to make the transfer as comfortable as possible. This was the perfect start for our Tanzania trip! I would definitely stick to Kili Transfer and recommend it to all my friends. Asante Sana!Posted on PeterVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
