Tanzania Transport


There are a number of Mozambique transport options that you could choose, and as the country is not very big, generally most travel within the country is done by road. The main forms of transportation include car, bus, taxi, as well as plane for domestic flights that may arise. Boat may also be used as transport.

Getting around Tanzania


Getting around Tanzania is fairly easy and simple, with three main ways of getting around the country's towns and villages. These are as follows:

Car:

Hiring a car is one of the easiest options, and also gives you more flexibility. Roads can be tough however, especially in the rainy season. 

Bus:

There are regular buses that run all over the country, from city centres and tiny villages in the rural areas.

Taxi:

Taxis can be taken from the airport as well as city centres and designated drop-off points, with private and mini-bus options.

Plane:

There are international airports in Dar es Salaam, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar as well as small airports scattered around the country.
