Grab your luggage, exit the arrivals hall at Mbeya Airport (MBI), and pick up your rental car. Which one you drive off in depends on what your travel itinerary looks like. If you’ll be spending most of your time driving in downtown Mbeya, around 2 miles from the terminal, consider something small and zippy. A compact car with good maneuverability will be perfect for those bustling city streets. But with a smorgasbord of things to see, like the striking sandy shores of the surrounding area, you’ll probably be racking up those miles. A bigger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips a joy.
