British Airways is adding two Tanzanian destinations, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar, to its route network starting from 29 May 2027, and running through the summer season until 31 October.
Flights will operate three times a week from London Gatwick on a triangle routing that lands in Kilimanjaro before continuing to Zanzibar.
Prices start from £849 return, including taxes and fees and a hand baggage allowance, the carrier said.
The service will be flown by a 777 offering three cabins: Club World (business), World Traveller Plus (premium economy) and World Traveller (economy).
“We're excited to be launching flights to two exceptional new destinations that showcase the very best of Tanzania,” said Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ Chief Planning and Strategy Officer.
