Individual transport
If you are a group of 4 - 5 persons and have a good budget - choose a vell-known safari company to bring you to Mwanza.
On your way to Mwanza you will pass several places of great interest - and in your very own speed.
From Arusha you will be able to discover the fantastic Ngorongoro Crater and the world famous Serengeti National Park - and you can choose night stops as you please and several idyllic lodges on the road are offering a once-in-a lifetime experience.

GMTanzania specialise in developing personalised Tanzanian holidays. Their extensive experience in Africa enables them to offer you the very best of itineraries and accommodation - and the price is right.

if you must drive at night, be very alert for stopped vehicles in the roadway without lights or hazard warnings. Also many trucks are driving with only one headlight - and what you think is a motorbike suddenly shows up to be an oncoming big truck in full speed on a narrow road.
While driving in Africa, also watch out for pedestrians, children, animals and bicycles with loads placed horizontal rather than vertical.

Car rental
There are numerous car rental agencies in Dar es Salaam and Arusha - plus a handful in Mwanza. Most charges approximately the same price, but local companies are normally slightly cheaper than international agencies like e.g. Avis.

In Tanzania, you drive left, and most vehicles are right-hand drive. If you’re not used to drive left - and especially in Africa - hire a qualified

driver together with the car. Also, most companies don’t permit self-drive outside towns. Hiring a driver costs between US$15 - US$20 a day plus an additional US$15 or so per night spent on the road.

Avoid driving after dark, but
