That depends on where you’re planning to go. Downtown Arusha, about 19 miles from Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO-Kilimanjaro Intl.), can be a bit tricky to drive around. Make life easy by picking something small, fuel-efficient, and simple to handle. Having said that, Arusha is a good base to explore some of the sandy shores in Tanzania. If your escape is more about hitting the wide open road, then you may prefer something with a bit more trunk space and room to move about. What about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
