Driving Tips Tanzania
Rent From Trustworthy Agency
In Tanzania, there are some companies that offer car rental services for self-drive safari and some don’t. It’s important to look for a reliable company that provides cars with good standards that will suit your safari without problems. Mili Adventure Africa offers car rental services of standard quality. Assisting you with planning your safari, and booking cheap rate. Rent a car with a rooftop tent, or ground tent and camping equipment.
Valid Driving License
A driving license will help you as a tourist to hire a car for the self-drive safari. A valid license from your country or an international driving permit can be used. International Driving Permit (IDP) is a legal document that validates your license internationally and can allow you to drive in a foreign country. It can be acquired from the destination or a country coming from. IDP can be helpful if one has no International Driving Licence and It is valid for 12 months.
Mechanics Skills
As a tourist on self-drive safari, it is crucial to have some necessary skills like map reading and mechanic skills. On your safari no one will accompany you, having these skills will help. You should have understood the basic mechanic skills when the car has a problem. You can be able to fix it rather than waiting for a mechanic that might take some time to arrive. Furthermore, having some necessary tools to fix any minor breakdown will be great. Map reading will help you take the exact route of your safari. Due to the unavailability of networks in many places, we advise to download and use maps.me application which works offline.
Accommodation Tanzania
Tanzania has a vast spread of accommodation options, ranging from luxurious lodges, mid-range hotels and the cheap, rough-around-the-edges guest houses. On a camping safari, one will be in charge of camping arrangements whether the public or private campsite. However, private campsite inside the park, should be booked a day before. Hotel and lodges can be booked prior to the commencement of the safari. All processes of accommodation services can be well arranged by the company
Travel and Health Insurance
Before embarking on your safari it’s important to be assured that you are in good condition. Never forget to take your basic medications and the first aid kit with all the necessary tools that can help you treat yourself with minor injuries like scrapes and cuts. However, you can make an arrangement with the correspondent company from your country to prepare your health insurance before your safari. This will help you get medical assistance anytime you need it.

We hired a Land Cruiser with double roof top tents for 36 days through Khalid at Mili Adventures. We took it through Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda. Cross border paper work, vehicle and equipment was perfect, no issues! Khalid was great to deal with and also good pricing compared to other rental companies we looked at. Khalid was super accomodating to any requests we had. Thanks for such a seamless rental experience! 100% would recommend.

Mili nás zachránili, když auto z jiné půjčovny bylo havarováno po cestě k nám. Nakonec to bylo to nejlepší se nám mohlo přihodit. Domluva proběhla bleskově. Suzuki Escudo je za tu cenu jednoznačně nejlepší auto na safari a v terénu se mu vyrovná pouze Land Cruiser. Kluci z půjčovny nám nedoporučovali jet v našem období do Serengeti, ale nakonec to byla nejpohodovější část našeho výletu. Jen po cestě ze Serengeti do Ngorongor musíte jet pomalu, protože malé auto nezvládá cestu tak dobře jako kolem projíždějíci Land Cruisery. Byli jsme i u Lake Natron kde to je krásné, ale poplatky jsou nesmyslné a v Tarangire, kde se nám vůbec nelíbilo a raději bychom zůstali den navíc v Serengeti, protože cena je podobná, ale Serengeti je podstatně velkolepější. Vrácení auta po 1500km v Dar Es Salaam taky proběhlo v pohodě a bylo nám odpuštěno i pár drobných a pochopitelných škrábanců na autě. Moc děkujeme, Mili Car Rental a Suzuki Escudo jsou rozhodně nejlepší kombinací na Safari. Jsme tak spokojeni, že jsem napsal první recenzi v životě 🙂

We rented the Suzuki Escudo for 10 days and had an amazing time in the nationalparks Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Natron. The car is very well equipt and has everything you need.
Khalid did an amazing job. He helped wherever he could and was very responsive.
I truely recommend Mili Adventure of you want to discover Tanzania by yourself!

Khalid hat uns super beraten, das Auto ist gut ausgestattet und bei Fragen wurde einem schnell geholfen. Wir haben den Ngorongoro und Serengetti Nationalpark besucht und alles hat ohne Zwischenfälle geklappt. Um die Fahrten etwas angenehmer zu gestalten, könnte man sich überlegen ein grösseres Fahrzeug als unseres (Suzuki) zu wählen.

Rented a car for a self-drive safari. The car was in a good state and the camping equipment included was comfortable and sufficient.

Estafadores, me dieron un coche que ya había tenido un golpe y de los baches se fueron cayendo las piezas delanteras, el faro, etc. incluso me dejó tirado en medio del serengeti. Vino un mecánico y me cobró una cantidad demasiado alta (100$), antes de pagarle se lo comenté a ellos y me dijeron no te preocupes nosotros te lo pagamos sin problema. Cuando les entregué el coche me dijeron que sólo me daban 40$ que era lo que creían que costaba el arreglo incluso me dijeron que si que me habían dicho que me daban los 100$ por el momento pero que lamentablemente sólo me iban a dar 40$ porque era lo que costaba el arreglo. Les enseño el recibo en el que me cobraron 100$ y ni lo quieren ver que son 40$. Fatal el coche, mal servicio, empresa poco seria, sin palabra y sin honor.

Excellent rapport qualité/prix pour ces 4 jours de safari à Serengeti, Ngorongoro et Lake Manyara!!!
Merci à Halifa pour son sérieux, sa conscience professionnelle et pour sa disponibilité à répondre à toutes nos questions par mails, alors que nous étions encore en France...
Et quel plaisir de découvrir après réception de plusieurs devis de différentes agences, que Mili Adventure était le moins cher et que la Suzuki Escudo était de qualité.
Un bravo à Khalid le chauffeur/guide expérimenté et sérieux!!!

Great company. Khalid - the general manager - is a very helpful, flexible and communicative guy and helped us a lot. We had a great 10days safari with Toyota Landcruiser with 2 tents on the roof.
