Well that depends where you’re going. Downtown Dar es Salaam, about 6 miles from Dar es Salaam Airport (DAR-Julius Nyerere Intl.), can be a challenge to drive in. Make life easy by reserving something small, fuel-efficient, and a cinch to handle. Keep in mind that Dar es Salaam is a handy base from which to explore many of the sandy shores around Tanzania. If your journey is more about tearing down the open road, then you may prefer something with a little more comfort and room to move. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
