Travelling To Tanzania From Kenya on a Budget [Nairobi to Arusha, Kikuletwa, Moshi]
I thought it's a good idea to try to travelling to Tanzania from Kenya on a budget for 6 Days. I moved from Nairobi to Namanga border, Arusha, Moshi, Marangu, Tarakea border and finally back to Nairobi in 6 days time.
Believe it or not, I spent only Ksh. 14K (TZS 280,000 ) or simply 140 USD. Watch the entire video to see how I managed to travel on such a 'small' budget for a solo trip.
You can skip to a specific location in the video;
00:34 Namanga border
01:05 Arusha
02:57 Kikuletwa Hot Springs (Chemka Maji Moto Springs)
05:02 Moshi (Kilimanjaro Crane Hotel)
06:27 Marangu (Stella Villa Lodge)
07:19 Marangu Falls Kinukamori
08:11 Chagga Museum
11:26 Mount Kilimanjaro National Park
13:01 Mwika to Tarakea Border
To book the Arusha Villa and other affordable accommodations across the world, sign up on AirBnb (https://www.airbnb.com/c/amosw699?currency=USD) and search Mount Meru House and Stella Villa Lodge
- Namanga border crossing - requirements; as a Kenyan one needs a passport or a temporary passport to travel to Tanzania. Apply one on Ecitizen (https://immigration.ecitizen.g....o.ke/index.php?id=4) One also requires a valid yellow fever certificate (done in hospitals and at the border for Ksh. 1500)
Driving one's vehicle from Kenya to Tanzania requires Comesa Insurance.
One doesn't require a visa to travel to Tanzania From Kenya or any other East African Country due to the Visa agreement.
Please note that there is no Uber or Taxify or any Taxi hail apps in Arusha, Moshi and Marangu. So be ready to deal with local taxis and shuttles.
If you can't handle all those logistics I would highly recommend you do a group tour with tour agency like this one (https://www.facebook.com/events/618196348705806/) which is even more cheaper and less hassle.
