Here’s a step-by-step guide on how Tanzanians can travel to Nairobi for college:

🛂 1. No Visa Needed – Just Your Passport or ID

Tanzania and Kenya are both members of the East African Community (EAC), which means:

• No visa is required to enter Kenya
• You can travel with a valid passport or your EAC national ID
• Once in Kenya, you can apply for a student pass if your course is long-term

✅ Tip: Always carry your admission letter when traveling—it helps at border checks.

🚌 2. Affordable Bus Options from Major Cities

If you’re traveling overland, there are reliable and affordable bus services from:

• Dar es Salaam
• Arusha
• Moshi
• Dodoma

Popular bus companies include:

• Tahmeed Coach
• Modern Coast
• Riverside Shuttle
• Guardian Coach

💰 Cost Range: Ksh 2,000–4,500 (approx. TSh 40,000–90,000) 🕒 Travel time: 8–16 hours depending on the city

✈️ 3. Flight Options from Dar es Salaam or Kilimanjaro
