Ground Transportation

Last updated: Nov 21, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are the most common and reliable transportation method from Mtwara Airport. They are typically available outside the terminal building, especially after scheduled flight arrivals. Fares are generally negotiated with the driver before the trip begins, as meters are not commonly used. The journey to Mtwara town is short, usually taking about 15-20 minutes.

Rental Cars

There are no major international car rental company desks located within the airport terminal. Car rental services are available through local operators in Mtwara town. It is highly recommended to book a vehicle in advance, and arrangements can often be made for the car to be delivered to the airport for your arrival.

Public Transportation

There is no formal, scheduled public bus service that directly serves the airport terminal. The primary forms of local public transport are 'bajajis' (three-wheeled auto-rickshaws) and 'daladalas' (minibuses). While you may be able to find them on the main road near the airport, it is not a convenient or guaranteed option, particularly if you have luggage.
