DRIVING IN TANZANIA

Driving in Tanzania can be a challenge, especially when done for the first time! Driving in Tanzania for the first time may qualify for a checklist, this is to say that there are several questions one needs to go through before deciding whether to opt for self or chauffeur drive. The first thing one should know is that with about 945,078km 2, Tanzania is definitely a big county with over 21 regions. When staying within or near the city the only thing that one has to worry about is congestion and traffic especially during rash hours. Finding your way around may not be so easy during the first days main reasons being that, some of the roads are with no names and clear directional signs along the roads though one can use land marks. When travelling to different regions on Safari, land scape attractions, etc, one does not face any major challenges when on the tarmac main roads; although it is important to bring it to your attention that, after driving away from the city, most roads are with no side lights. This may be challenging during the night especially if one has not experienced this before, it may be a bit scary so to say. When put beautifully, if you are not adventurous and may find it hard to drive during the night on a dark road, plan well so that all your long journeys are done during the day time. When travelling to rural areas one has to be sure of driving on rough roads from time to time. During dry seasons, depending with a region and a specific location, one will be driving on sandy roads therefore without a good 4X 4 the car may easily get stuck. Roads are very slippery during the rain seasons especially on some of the rough roads in rural areas.
