Unofficial Taxi Drivers: Unlicensed drivers may approach you inside the terminal offering rides at seemingly good rates, but often charge inflated prices or take longer routes. Avoid by using only official orange and white Mwasalat taxis from the designated taxi rank outside arrivals, or pre-book through the airport's official taxi service or ride-hailing apps.

Currency Exchange Scams: Some airport currency exchange counters or individuals may offer poor exchange rates or add hidden fees. Avoid by checking current exchange rates before arrival, using ATMs inside the terminal for better rates, or exchanging only small amounts at the airport for immediate needs.

Fake Airport Representatives: Individuals wearing unofficial badges or uniforms may offer 'assistance' with luggage, transportation, or hotel bookings for a fee, then overcharge or lead you to unlicensed services. Avoid by only accepting help from clearly identified official airport staff at information desks, and arrange transportation through official channels or your hotel directly.
