In East Africa (Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania), self-drive car rentals are common. They mostly use sturdy 4×4 vehicles like Toyota Land Cruisers, which are frequently outfitted with rooftop tents and camping equipment for independent safaris. Several local businesses provide cross-border permits, maintenance, and round-the-clock assistance for hassle-free exploration of parks like Serengeti, Masai Mara, and Volcanoes.
With these well maintained car offered for self drive you can go for your self drive in Tanzania where you will be able to visit places like Ngorongoro crater-the renowned UNESCO World heritage site which is the biggest caldera in the world and a home for all the big five of Africa including Lions, Leopards, Elephants, black rhinos and cape buffalos which all call the crater their home. The crater is also home to several bird species, including the larger and lesser flamingos that live around the crater lake. You will also visit Serengeti National Park, famous for its huge concentration of big cats and the great migration of wildebeest, which is a year-round event that takes place throughout the park
