The Highway Trip (650 km)
Moving your home from Dar es Salaam to Arusha covers about 650 kilometers along the northern highway through Chalinze, Segera, and Moshi. Because the truck travels on long highway stretches, using a sealed, covered truck is important to protect your furniture from weather and dust.
Packing Fragile Items & Furniture
Good packing prevents items from sliding or breaking on bumps along the road. Furniture should be wrapped in heavy blankets and stretch wrap. Glassware, TVs, and electronics need thick bubble wrap and sturdy boxes or wood crates.
Transit Insurance
Accidents or damage on long trips can happen. Always ensure your move includes Goods-in-Transit insurance. This covers your furniture and belongings from the moment they are loaded in Dar until they are safely placed in your new Arusha home.
How Long the Move Takes
A standard house move takes 2 days:
- Day 1 (Morning): Moving crew arrives at your Dar home, packs items, and loads the truck.
- Day 1 (Afternoon): Truck starts the drive to Arusha under driver tracking.
- Day 2 (Mid-day): Truck arrives at your new home in Arusha (Njiro, USA River, or Sakina) to offload and arrange furniture.
