Tanzania - Self-drive Bush to Beach

Share:

Introduction

Tanzania – the land of Serengeti, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar. But did you know, that the country has so much more to offer? Explore the hidden gems of Tanzania and experience the uncharted corners of one of Africa’s most exciting destinations. Far from the beaten tracks, you will find a Tanzania untouched by mass tourism. Discover the wildlife abundance of its national parks, the rich cultures of its people, charming remote villages and magnificent hideaways on Tanzania’s lakes and seaside. Self-driving in Tanzania will reward you with magical and surprising encounters at every turn. Choose your own path, move at your own pace and live the freedom and fun of a true road adventure!

Tanzania’s infrastructure has seen great improvements in recent years and road safety has dramatically increased. In places where GPS navigation will get you nowhere, we supply you with first-hand knowledge and expert road descriptions, so you won´t miss your destination. Most major roads are tarmac roads and most dirt roads are in a good condition.

Tanzanians are very friendly people and keen to help if someone needs assistance. Whether you want to explore some places off the main roads, looking for a nice place to take a break or are simply seeking directions – you will be surprised by the readiness of Tanzanians to help you out wherever they can. With our road manual you will get used to driving in Tanzania in no time.

Your safety is our number one priority. That is why we go the extra mile to make sure you are always safe and in the best hands if there is any emergency. You will always receive a safety briefing before you embark on your road adventure. Road side assistance and health services in Tanzania are not as readily available compared to other countries. That is why we are even more aware and prepared to help you in any case of an incident. Whenever you need, our 24/7 GPS surveillance system helps us coordinate help to your exact location. In addition, we partner with medical first response services like AMREF Flying Doctors and 1CallTanzania that go beyond the ordinary health support covered by your travel insurance. With us you can always be free and independent, but you are never left alone.

Our partner in Tanzania operates a fleet of reliable and tough 4x4 vehicles that will get you anywhere in the country. No matter if you drive on tarmac or on dirt roads in the national parks, our vehicles will take you to the most exciting places in Tanzania. All our vehicles are regularly maintained and serviced following a strict routine before and after every rental.  All cars come with basic tools and equipment enabling our clients to master every challenge that a self-drive adventure might have in store for you.
