Consider flying ZanAir too - I took a flight from Zanzibar to Dar that cost only a little more than the ferry and I have heard others complain about large waves and sea-sickness on the ferry between Zanzibar and Dar.
Did you look into flying into JRO (Kilimanjaro airport) too? I found it to be cheaper (when factoring additional travelling since it is much closer to Arusha) than Dar and Nairobi when I flew over there.
I was able to get a quote from Precision Air to do DAR-JRO-ZNZ-DAR for about $360, so I think that is what we are going to do since this might be cheapest way to go to/from all these different places (although we wouldn't mind a little adventure on the bus or ferry).
