* CAR RENTAL
- Driving:
On the left hand side of the road as in UK, Japan etc.
- Road Conditions:
Some roads are in very poor condition. 4 wheel drive is useful and in the wet seasons when travelling anywhere but on the major routes.
- Self Drive:
Self drive car rental is not popular in Tanzania but is possible. Usually, a car is hired with a driver, which, considering the state of some of the hire cars and the poor condition of some of the roads, can be an advantage.
