## Driving personal vehicles in East Africa

Tanzania night travel by bus is currently safe by bus according to tanzanian government. There is a lot of bus services connecting all East African capitals and major cities, but with EAC-enhanced co-operation in the area of transport, East Africans can now drive private cars across borders and across the entire EAC region, free of charge, for visits no longer than seven (7) days.

The maximum period allowed for one to use a car not registered in the host Partner State is six (6) months, you will be required to pay $20 per month as temporary road licence after the seven-day grace period elapses. Anyone using a private car has to fill a form, obtainable at border crossing points or local Revenue Authority office, which grants permission for free access for a week. A valid driver’s licence is required for driving in any of the Partner States.

Ensure that your car is insured before you travel. Have a valid sticker displayed on your vehicle as proof of insurance. Also make sure you carry an original copy of your car Log Book or at the very least, a certified photocopy.

## Tanzania Night Travel Ban Lifted in Public Transport

The Tanzanian government lifted a long standing directive barring upcountry buses from operating at night. The ban had been in effect since the 1990s. The decision was announced by Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa in parliament. The lifting of the ban also came after thorough consideration of input from various stakeholders in the transport sector, alongside marked improvements in infrastructure and security. The ban was a response to the escalating number of road accidents and bus hijackings.

The country had recorded improvements in infrastructure, security and transport management, hence the decision to lift the ban. The uplifting of the ban is expected to have a substantial impact on the country’s transport sector. With potential benefits in terms of economic growth and enhanced travel options for passengers.

## Getting Around In Tanzania

If you’re looking for cheap ways to travel in Tanzania and get around the entire country, buses are the best way to go. Of course they’re much slower than planes but the good news is that they usually arrive around the announced time. It’s important not to underestimate driving times as the roads here are not made for driving fast or overtaking easily. Between Moshi and Dar Es Salaam, eg., there’s only about 550 km but it takes 10 hours. There’s different types of buses for long and short distances, they include: Impala Shuttle, Nairobi Arusha Shuttle Bus, Nairobi Arusha Shuttles, Marangu Shuttle, ngurdoto-shuttle and many more.
