Tips for Self-drive Trips in Tanzania
The road conditions should be your number one aspect of your safari. Northeastern Tanzania by African standards are very good - Arusha city, Moshi - Kilimanjaro, The Ngorongoro west, Lushoto and Dar es Salaam in the far east to the coast. Expect speed bumps and regular potholes. Always the last bit of your drive involves bumpy road, getting to your lodge and park entrances. The north circuit National Parks are easy to drive through, with the exceptions of Serengeti National Park and the road heading to Lake Natron - Take care when driving through them.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_single_image image="504" img_size="full" style="vc_box_rounded"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text="Things to do on a self-drive tour in Tanzania / Holidays/ Vacation Camping Safaris" font_container="tag:h5|font_size:31|text_align:left|color:%23789904" google_fonts="font_family:Dosis%3A200%2C300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600%2C700%2C800|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/2"][vc_single_image image="621" img_size="full" style="vc_box_rounded" css=".vc_custom_1726659513864{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}"][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1728677425870{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}"]The
