The Lutheran Junior Seminary is situated at the foot of the beautiful Uluguru Mountains about 10 km east of Morogoro town along the main road from Dar es Salaam. Regular and frequent buses run between the two cities. Buses will drop off students at the Seminary on request. By private car it takes about three hours. Please note that transportation to the language school is the sole responsibility of the students and their sending societies.  If you plan to drive in Tanzania, make sure to bring an International Driving License so that you can drive while waiting to get a local license.

If you do not have a car of your own, it is easy to catch a daladala (passenger van) to Morogoro.  They’ll stop to pick you up and should cost 300 Tsh.  You can get off anywhere you want to, but it will stop at the daladala stand in the middle of town.  Finding the right daladala to take you back to the school is a bit more difficult, but their destinations are painted on the front of the vehicle.  Look for one that goes to Mikese, or just ask the folks standing around which one goes to the Lutheran Junior Seminary.  They’ll know where you want to go and how to get you there, but be ready to tell the driver when to stop, otherwise he won’t.  It is much easier to take a taxi back to the Seminary, and most drivers know where it is.  They shouldn’t charge you more than 4000 Tsh (or 5000 Tsh at night) and most drivers will try to get as much as they can from you at any time.  It is advisable to get the phone number of a taxi driver you like so that you can call and have him pick you up on occasions when daladalas are undesirable (like after dark).
