Online Reviews Summary

Traveler sentiment regarding air travel to the Ngorongoro region is generally positive, largely due to the efficient transfer services available from connecting airports. However, direct detailed reviews for Ngorongoro Airport (TZ-0055), also known by its ICAO code HTNN, are scarce, with most traveler experiences focusing on the journey from larger hubs like Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) and Arusha Airport (ARK). While HTNN is operational, travelers should be aware it is not an international airport of entry, meaning customs and immigration are handled elsewhere.

What Travelers Love
  • Efficient and Varied Transportation Connections: Numerous companies provide 24/7 taxi, shuttle, minivan, minibus, and bus transfers from larger airports like Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) and Arusha Airport (ARK) directly to the Ngorongoro region, offering convenience and flexibility. The drive from Arusha Airport to Ngorongoro Crater is approximately 3 hours 39 minutes, while from Kilimanjaro Airport, it's about 3 hours 46 minutes by road.
  • Access to Smaller Airstrips for Safari: For those looking for more direct access, Lake Manyara Airstrip and Lake Ndutu Airstrip serve the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, offering an efficient way to begin a safari and potentially providing scenic views.
  • Generally Quick Immigration at Main Hubs (for some): Some travelers have reported quick and efficient immigration processes at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), taking less than 20 minutes from disembarkation to vehicle.
Common Complaints
  • No International Customs or Immigration at Ngorongoro Airport (HTNN): Ngorongoro Airport (HTNN) is explicitly stated to not have customs facilities and is not an Airport of Entry. International travelers must clear immigration and customs at another airport, such as JRO or ARK.
  • Variable Experiences at Connecting Airports: Travelers at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) have reported mixed experiences, including instances of rude and unhelpful staff, long queues for customs, and historical issues with some officials attempting to solicit bribes for yellow fever certificates (though measures have been taken to address these issues).
  • Limited Public Information on Ngorongoro Airport (HTNN) Facilities: Detailed recent reviews or extensive public information about the specific terminal facilities, amenities, cleanliness, or parking at Ngorongoro Airport (HTNN) itself are not readily available in recent traveler reports.

Overall, reaching Ngorongoro by air is a straightforward process primarily managed through connecting flights and pre-arranged ground transfers from larger regional airports. While the transfer services are highly regarded, the initial arrival experience at the main international gateway airports can be inconsistent, and travelers should be prepared for the lack of international processing at Ngorongoro Airport (HTNN) itself.
