Driving and safety Tips in Tanzania.
ü Driving in Tanzania is done on the left hand side. Always drive at a minimum speed limit to avoid accidents and for your own personal safety and always be on the watch for children crossing roads and animals crossing in National Parks.
ü Avoid driving at night and if at all you decide to drive at night take extra caution. Don’t walk alone in major cities and in empty alleys and dark places and also on empty beaches of Zanzibar and Pemba to avoid robberies and other criminal offences.
ü Avoid carrying too much camera equipment especially in the major cities and carry enough cash but not too much and keep it locked in a safe place. Always keep your doors and windows locked at all times especially when driving in the major cities of Dar es Salaam, Arusha and Mwanza.
ü Tanzania roads are somewhat bad with potholes, people, road blocks, and goats, school children who tend to get in the way of vehicles, with the rainy season making the roads muddy, slippery and wiping out most of the country’s roads. If you plan on embarking on country side and off terrain safaris then you’re advised to rent a 4x4 for more smooth and comfortable travel.
ü If you’re planning to spend a long time in Tanzania you’re advised to take the following shots and vaccinations:- rabies, yellow fever, Hepatitis A, Diphtheria, Typhoid and ensure that you take the right anti malarial medication though we are happy to inform you that Ngorongoro Conservation Area is relatively malaria free.
ü All foreign drivers are required to have International Driver License if you plan on having a self drive holiday in Tanzania.
