Why rent a car in Tanzania?
Renting a car in Tanzania offers unparalleled flexibility to explore the country's diverse landscapes, from the vast savannahs of the Serengeti to the pristine beaches of Zanzibar. With your own vehicle, you can tailor your itinerary, visit remote attractions, and experience the rich cultural tapestry at your own pace.
Public transportation options can be limited or irregular, especially when traveling to national parks or rural areas. Having a rental car ensures you can access off-the-beaten-path destinations, enjoy spontaneous detours, and make the most of your Tanzanian adventure.
Car rental tips for Tanzania
Tanzania drives on the left-hand side of the road. If you're accustomed to right-hand driving, take time to familiarize yourself with this change to ensure safety. Ensure you have all necessary documents in the vehicle at all times, including the vehicle's registration papers and insurance certificate. Police checkpoints are common, and officers will request these documents along with your driver's license and International Driving Permit. Be prepared for varying road conditions; while major highways are paved, many rural roads are unpaved and can become challenging, especially during the rainy season. A 4x4 vehicle is advisable for such conditions. Avoid driving at night due to poor visibility, potential hazards like wildlife on the roads, and limited roadside assistance in remote areas. Plan your travel to arrive at your destination before dusk.
FAQs about renting a car in Tanzania
What is the recommended car type/category?
A 4x4 vehicle is highly recommended for navigating Tanzania's varied terrains, especially if you plan to visit national parks or rural areas where roads can be unpaved and challenging.
What are the parking options?
In urban areas like Dar es Salaam and Arusha, parking is available but can be limited; it's advisable to use designated parking lots or secure hotel parking. In national parks, parking is typically provided at lodges and designated areas.

Speed limits in Tanzania are strictly enforced: 50 km/h (31 mph) in urban areas, 80 km/h (50 mph) on rural roads, and up to 100 km/h (62 mph) on highways. In national parks, the limit is often reduced to 30 km/h (19 mph) to protect wildlife.
