ZNZ-DAR - How early to arrive before a DAR - International Flight?

I am looking at a ZNZ-DAR flight that departs at 14:30 and arrives at 14:50 on Coastal Aviation.
I have a ET flight from DAR - ADD at 16:45.

Will this be enough time? Is that ZNZ - DAR generally on time?

will your intended flight arrive at T1 or T2?

The Coastal fight is later in the day and could be delayed, normally Coastal is very good but these are bush flights and things could happen.

Also you need to change terminals in Dar es Salaam as the coastal flight will arrive in the domestic terminal 2 and your ADD fight leaves from international terminal 1. The transfer is quick but you will have to walk (30min min), take a cab Tsh5000 or ask Coastal for a transfer to the international terminal.

There are many many flights from ZNZ to DAR by coastal and other bush airlines as they are all Caravan flights.

I would try to get on a flight a bit earlier as it is Africa and especially Tanzania.

But you should have enough time!

Hope it helps with your decision!

Thanks all, sometimes I forget TIA.

We changed our flight to the 13:00 flight arriving at 13:20, which should give us lots of time to get on our international 16:45 flight.

We are on a RTW trip, so not worth screwing up the ticket for an extra hour in ZNZ.

More time is better. We have had lots of late departures on fed air/coastal. Nothing major but an hour or so tops.
