| Road |
| Description |
|
Road conditions vary a great deal. The best way to enter Tanzania
overland is from either Kenya or Malawi. It is not advisable to
enter from either Uganda or Rwanda. Most Tanzanian roads do not
have sealed surfaces, and travelling on them in wet seasons can
be problematic. A law aimed at curbing accidents forbids public
vehicles travelling between 10 pm and 5 am.
|
| Car Hire |
|
Vehicles keep to the left. International driving licences are required
of all foreign drivers. Vehicles must have adequate third-party
insurance. Car hire services are limited and it is difficult to
hire a self-drive vehicle. The available car hire companies, are
based in Dar-es-Salaam and larger towns.
