Training venue

Getting there
No direct flights were confirmed from Denmark to Arusha. Typical routing is connecting via Addis Ababa on Ethiopian Airlines or via Nairobi on Kenya Airways, with the journey to Arusha Airport (ARK) usually taking about 9–14 hours depending on connection time.
Visa
Danish passport holders need a Tanzania visa for this trip; Tanzania’s immigration guidelines say visitors can apply online for an Ordinary (single-entry) visa or get one on arrival, and the Ordinary visa costs 50 USD with validity of up to 90 days. The Tanzania consulate in Denmark also notes that Danish citizens can obtain a one-entry tourist visa on arrival.
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.
