Tanzania

Taxis, which have white plates on the mainland and a ‘gari la abiria’ (passenger vehicle) sign on Zanzibar, can be hired in all major towns. None have meters, so agree on the fare with the driver before getting in. Fares for short town trips start at Tsh 2000 (Tsh 5000 in Dar es Salaam). In major centres, many drivers have an ‘official’ price list, although rates shown on it are often significantly higher than what is normally paid. If you’re unsure of the price, ask locals what it should be and then use this as a base for negotiations. For longer trips away from town, negotiate the fare based on distance, petrol costs and road conditions, plus a fair profit for the driver. Only use taxis from reliable hotels or established taxi stands. Avoid hailing taxis cruising the streets, and never get in a taxi that has a ‘friend’ of the driver or anyone else already in it.
