Car Hire
Renting a car is the best option if you want to explore Tanzania on your own and are aware of the specifics of driving in Africa such as the absolute ignorance of traffic regulations, the poor condition of the roads and the frequent occurrence of wildlife on the roads.
Kilimanjaro Airport is not home to any car rental companies.
International rental companies such as Auto Uninon or Europcar can be found in Arusha.
