From the heights of Kilimanjaro to the depths of Ngorongoro crater, from the wildlife at Lake Victoria to the plains of the Serengeti, from Zanzibar to The Great Rift Valley, leave Tanzania's crumbling economy aside and dig through the heat and dust to bask in a superb sunset, the fragrant spices, an Arabian palace and the beautiful heritage of this land. To get under the skin of Tanzania read, the autobiography, 'Memoirs of an Arabian Princess' by Emily Said-Ruete, watch the documentary 'Kilimanjaro--To the Roof of Africa' by David Breashears, and listen to 'Music from Tanzania & Zanzibar'.

Emirates, Kenya Airways and Jet Airways provide good connections out of India.
Taxis: Regular taxis are found easily on the street and outside hotels. Tuk-tuks can be used over short distances in the beach resorts along the coast. Boda-bodas are a cheap and fun way to travel over short distances, but you need to hang on tightly. With all of these, prices should be negotiated before setting off.
Rental Car Hire: Driving in Tanzania can be dangerous because everyone does pretty much as they please, and traffic in Dar es Salaam is especially chaotic. The roads are not always well maintained and frequent potholes are a problem, so keep your speed down and avoid driving at night because of the danger of domestic and wild animals on the road.
If you're confident that you can hold your own on Tanzanian roads, you can either book a car at your country of origin from one of the large agencies or contact them once you arrive. Avis (www.avis.com), Budget (www.budget.com), and Hertz (www.hertz.com) have several offices in Dar es Salaam and Arusha.
To hire a car, you must be over 23, and while you don't necessarily need an international driver's license, your license must be in English.
Buses / Coaches: The most reasonably efficient and comfortable buses are operated by Scandinavian Express and Royal Coach. They have modern ticket offices in each of the towns and cities, you can choose your seat onscreen, buses are speed governed, most have air-conditioning, and complimentary drinks and biscuits / cookies are offered onboard. Always exercise caution around the bus stations, as petty theft can be a problem.
Please avoid. If you insist on traveling by rail, you should opt for first class, always lock your door, and never leave your possessions unguarded.
