Luggage storage and services in Terminal 2
Luggage Point sits in Terminal 2 at Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR), useful if you need to offload bags before a taxi ride into Dar es Salaam or a short regional hop. It focuses on baggage services rather than general travel retail, so think storage and handling rather than souvenirs.
The shop operates in Terminal 2, which mainly handles regional and some international flights, so it’s handy if you’re switching airlines between older T2 carriers and newer operations in Terminal 3. Check locally for current opening hours, as schedules at DAR can shift with flight banks and public holidays.
Pricing isn’t clearly advertised online, but expect charges per bag and per day, similar to other African airports that bill by the size and weight of each item. Staff usually take payment in Tanzanian shillings, and some counters in DAR accept major cards; bring some cash as a backup in case the card terminal is down.
Luggage Point in Terminal 2 typically handles standard suitcases and backpacks and may also offer wrapping or basic assistance with damaged bags, depending on staff and equipment on duty. If you’re checking in with a regional carrier at T2 and connecting later out of T3, this is one of the few places on the airport grounds where you can separate sightseeing gear from what you carry onward.
Tip: build in at least 15–20 extra minutes before check-in to drop your bag at Luggage Point in Terminal 2, especially around evening departure banks when queues at counters and security can back up.
