How to get in Mbeya
Buses run from Dar es Salaam and Iringa several times a day, with a few, frequently delayed international services also available.
Dalla-dallas (minibuses) and coasters (30-seat buses) run frequently to and from Kyela near the Malawian border and Tunduma on the Zambian border, either ride taking between two and three hours.
Train service consists of two Tazara Line "express" trains per week connecting Dar Es Salaam and Kapiri Mposhi (Zambia) via Mbeya, and one "regular" weekly service between Mbeya and Dar. The train station is located about 4km south of the city center.
An airport is under construction about 22km south of the city, with talks of international flights, which could make this town the base for excursions into little-visited western Tanzania. Its opening, however, has been indefinitely postponed. There is an airfield about 5km south of town for charter flights.
