Getting there
No direct flights from Cameroon to Arusha; typical routing involves a single stop via Addis Ababa on Ethiopian Airlines or via Nairobi on Kenya Airways, arriving at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) in approximately 10–15 hours.
Visa
Cameroon passport holders can enter Tanzania on a visa on arrival or apply for an ordinary single-entry visa online; Tanzania’s visa guidelines say the ordinary visa costs USD 50 and is valid for up to 90 days, which covers a 5-day professional training trip. Tanzania’s official guidelines also state a visa on arrival is available at official entry points, and the passport should be valid for at least 6 months with at least one unused visa page.
Safety
Arusha is generally safe for visiting professionals, but avoid walking alone at night or in poorly lit areas and be alert for pickpockets in crowded markets. Dress modestly in public areas and use reputable transport arranged through your hotel or training organiser.
