Tanzania Getting Around

Getting Around

Bus is the most common way to travel around Tanzania. Most buses are simple and the roads are poor, although on the Dar-Moshi-Arusha route, 1st class air-con buses can be taken. Nearly all buses go in and out of Dar Es Salaam. The main bus station in Dar (where all buses go), Ubungo, is 8km west of the city centre. A number of the better "intercity buses" provide you with complimentary drinks and biscuits. In Dar, shared taxis called Dalla-Dallas can be taken cheaply to most places.
