By air

There are two airports that are relatively close to the Mechanism: the Kilimanjaro International Airport and the Arusha City Airport. The Kilimanjaro International Airport is approximately 60 kilometers (45 minutes) from Arusha city center and 76 kilometers (65 minutes) to the Mechanism. There are regular flights to Amsterdam, Addis Ababa, Nairobi, Kigali, Dubai and several other cities. The Arusha City Airport is approximately 8 kilometers (seven minutes) from the Mechanism. It has domestic flights to Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam, Kilimanjaro and several other local destinations within the United Republic of Tanzania.

By road

Arusha is also well connected by road to Nairobi (about three hours away), Moshi (about 100 kilometers east) and Dar es Salaam (about 800 kilometers south east). There is also a good road connecting Arusha with Dodoma (about 500 kilometers south), the capital of the United Republic of Tanzania.

In Arusha, one can easily reach the Mechanism premises by car. Public transport, though not very reliable, is available in the form of mini-buses (dala dalas). However, these mini-buses drop passengers at the Dodoma–Haki road junction, which is one kilometer from the Mechanism premises. From there, one has to walk to the Mechanism premises.

Parking space is available just outside the Mechanism’s main security gate.
