Before the trip, Farraz (the owner) was both great at answering questions as well as arranging the park entry fee quotes. Abu was wonderful at meeting us at the airport and taking care of the final transactions for payment and park fees in a safe and comfortable location. The vehicle was as advertised and we went over our plans for our safari as to make sure we were all on the same page.The real star of the company was our guide Moody, who is a definite asset and went above and beyond to make sure everything we wanted was completely taken care of. He exceeded our requests and put us first in every situation. He was excellent at not only spotting animals, but telling us about each and every one of them. I don’t think there were any questions he was unable to answer, not just about wildlife, but Tanzania in general. He has working relationships with many of the other guides in the national parks, which he was able to also keep in radio contact with, to be alerted to any animal sightings the other guides may have encountered elsewhere. Also, Moody is a mechanic, so that provides a real peace of mind knowing if the car had any troubles, our expert guide was also a mechanic! We saw all the animals we hoped to, and then some. This was completely due to Moody.Overall this company is great (also locally owned), and very reasonably priced compared to the larger foreign owned companies. But I cannot stress enough how great Moody was. Hopefully you are lucky to get Moody as a driver, but if not, I’m sure the experience with your driver will be great too. If Arusha Car Rental is smart enough to employ Moody, it is safe to assume they have other great drivers as well. But I strongly recommend asking for Moody, you will thank me later. Thanks again Moody (and also the company) (but most specifically Moody) for the trip of a lifetime. Farraz, give Moody the employee of the year award!

The experience was amaizing! Driving through Tanzania with our tent over the roof of the car is unforgettable!All the goods we needed were provided by the staff and I want to thank Farraz & Abu for their support. We expect of course some surprises when we go for an adventure and they were available at any time. Very friendly and comprehensive, I would recommend them 100 times.

Weve spent amazing honeymoon trip in a hired 4x4 Land Cruiser from Arusha Car Rentals! But lets start from the beginning... Weve compared many rental companies before we got to Tanzania and Arusha Car Rental was the one that gave us best price for car on a Self Drive Safari basis. Farraz and Zacharia were very helpful and flexible form the beginning of our trip. Theyve organised us a transfer from airport to the hotel, demonstrated all equipment and got us a Guide for the first two days of our trip. The car was fully equipped with necessary camping accessories, most of them were even brand new:) Only thing we had to buy apart from food, was a lighter and a flashlight. Our Land Cruiser was very reliable but in that kind of road conditions even the toughest vehicle had some malfunctions. Our fridge was broken after 2nd day and we got a flat tire but I bet that if we were driving a regular car instead of this Toyota, it would be completely destroyed :)What I need to mention is that choosing Self Drive Safari for a couples is a must. For sure its less comfortable because You need to organize all your permits and food on your own but You are free and You can decide when You want to stop for a little longer or choose Your own way around the park. Theres an amazing feeling of adventure through the whole trip. Dont worry that You wont see any animals because theres plenty of them.Id like to say that Im glad we hired a Bryson (our guide) for the first two days of our trip because he helped us a lot. He shared many useful tips about driving through Tanzania, recommended good campsites and helped us around city of Arusha. Weve also spent wonderful time in Arusha NP and Tarangire NP with him.

It was hard to find a reliable car rental in Arusha region. Most people feel happy to rent you their car, but all sorts of trouble can occur, and you have the risk of a scam.For us, contracts, insurance and reliable customer support are essential. Besides this, you need a reliable vehicle. Farraz and his team provided all of this. The contracts were simple to understand, no lawyer talk, and they kept all the promises. The vehicle proved reliable and we had a great 10 day trip (Arusha, Babati, Kondoa, Singida, Mwanza, Kisesa, Shinyaga, Babati, Arusha)If you want a reliable car with supporting staff, go for Arusha car rental.

July 2019, we rented two cars for 9 days selfdrive safari. We drove through really tought and bumpy roads, cars had a hard time. No surprise we had to face a few break down, but the company was very fast to send us mechanics anytime and anywhere. Both cars, a land cruiser and a prado where well equiped with a complete set of camping equipment. We had a great time in Tanzania and highly advise to go on a selfdrive with Arusha Car Rental, if you have the adventure spirit. Otherwise, take a safari with a guide, still with Arusha Car Rental and its friendly staff.

Arusha car rental vehicle was used for our self drive safari to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti in June 2021. The Landcruiser was delivered to us in Arusha. The vehicle was not new but all the equipment we requested was supplied. Unfortunately the main roads in Ngorongoro are not maintained and very corrugated for 70kms! This is obviously not good for any vehicle. Some accommodation we stayed in also required low range 4x4 at times. When travelling in these parks a 4x4 vehicle is necessary and our vehicle performed well in low range over this rugged terrain. Navigating in Tanzania National parks can be challenging as many smaller private camps are not marked on the maps or signposted. Arusha Car rental responded quickly to the mechanical issues that we had with the vehicle as a result of travelling on these bad roads. It did not matter where we were or the time of day or night, a mechanic was sent and the car was repaired within a few hours. A cellphone was supplied so we could call FK and Aduh 24hours with any problems. I can recommend Arusha because any mechanical issues were sorted out fairly promptly.

These guys were awesome. We got in touch via whatsapp just 1 day before we landed (last minute trip) and they were able to pick us up from JRO and put together a great 3 day trip. Bashir was an amazing driver and guide. He made sure we were in the right place at the right time for our covid tests, and he knew which banks to go to pay for those tests (different locations). He also knew the best places for groceries, cheap campsites, etc. He took us to some incredible tribes near lake eyasi and was an awesome safari guide. We saw all the main animals in just our short 5 hour safari, even some lions and cheetas! And if youre interested Im nightlife he can also show you all the good bars, restaurants, etc. Cant recommend Bashir enough!

We rented a Toyota Land-cruiser with a pop-up roof, a driver guide and camping equipment for 13 days. Farraz, the owner of the company, was so helpful right from the start which made the booking process very smooth. Although we had some troubles with initiating the down payment, it was actually no big deal for us. Farraz, however, provided a driver guide at no cost for three days. We highly appreciated this accommodating behavior! He responded always very quickly and tried to meet all our needs. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet him in person.When arriving at the car rental company, we discussed our Safari plans with our driver guide called Mood. He had excellent suggestions and we came up with a perfect tour. The car was well equipped and in a good condition. During our Safari we did not face many problems. In spite, Mood solved every small problem very fast and efficiently. Hakuna Matata! At the beginning, our inverter for charging electronic devices did not work, but Mood instantly got a new one. Another day, monkeys destroyed our tents and he repaired it for that night and got new ones immediately the next day. Further, we got a free transfer from Arusha to the Kilimanjaro airport. This is professionalism at its very best.Mood is very a considerate driver who possesses a lot of knowledge. It was great to listen to all of his interesting Safari stories. It was incredible that he spotted so many hidden animals which we sometimes even struggled to see at all. We found him to be very reliable and trusted him from the beginning. He managed every park entry and selected nice places to stay. Due to his spontaneous behavior, he arranged everything based on our needs. He is not only extremely caring and friendly, but also really funny. Additionally, his English skills are very good and he also taught us some useful Swahili.To sum it up, it is the perfect car rental company and if you want to have a driver guide – ask for Mood! We could not have had a better driver!Thank you very much! Asante sana!

We are a couple from Denmark and we rented a car for a selfdrive (6 days) with a rooftop tent, which was great.We had an issue with the battery that resulted in the car wouldnt start, and we couldnt fix it ourselves, so as soon as we called FK (arusha car rental) they drove all the way up to us and fixed it right away)Otherwise the car was reliable just as the company. Can only recommend it, we had a great experience.

We booked the safari online through Farraz. We did not use a booking or travel agent. It was done directly through email. We saved a large amount of money that way. Our experience was fantastic! We travelled with 3 adults and 4 young children, ages 4-8 years. Our driver was Mahmoud. He was very knowledgeable about the area and the animals. He gave us insight to the African culture. He was accommodating to our needs, including helping us to find some difficult airBNB addresses. Mahmoud helped us navigate the language and shopping as well. He was very patient and we highly recommend asking for him specifically. You will not find a better driver. The safari itself was a definite eye-opener. We got to see up close so many types of animals in their natural habitat. The only thing we didnt see that the children had on their list was a cheetah. They did not mind though. We did see the big 5. Mahmoud took extra effort to get the best view of the animals. We were excited each morning to get going and at the end of the day we were exhausted and satisfied! It was a fabulous moment in our lives we will not soon forget!

In Februari 2021 weve rented a 4x4 from Arusha Car Rental.There are quite a few rental companies around, but this company provided a car with a rooftop tent + camping equipment.Although we have had some (reg maintenance) issues with the car, Abuh from Arusha car rental was very proactive in helping us out.The car had all equipment we needed for a few days and we could make a fair deal with them. Therefor we reward them with a 5 star.Regarding driving a over lander in Tanzania:Despite our love for independent traveling, and beside the fact that we had an UNFORGETTABLE trip we are not sure if we can recommend this type of traveling in Tanzania.To consider:- Unlike other countries in Africa, the Tanzanian government places park gates on roads in different areas. We sometimes thought we where driving in the wild, to later find out we where driving in a park again, having to pay hundreds of dollars. There are no alternative roads, so you have to prepare to pay...- wild camping is not allowed. Although we did it, we later found out we were being watched by local government and got lucky not getting a fine- the state of the public camps in Serengeti is poor- the roads in the Serengeti where so bad, that we had to extend our stay for one day (paying hundreds of dollars park fee extra) because the mainroad (and only road) to the north was blocked because of rainfall. We find it hard to understand the choice not to invest in a simple bridge out of the hundreds of millions of dollars income...- and off course you have the coppers, that scan for speeding at every so much kms.Besides these challenges and surprises, made had an amazing trip and meat many beautiful Tanzanian People. We drove from Arusha via Arusha NP, to Serengeti for some days, then out at Glens Gate, after drive past the incredible lake Natron and out at Lake Manyara. All in 6/7 days.

We had an excellent experience with Arusha Car Rental. Very professional and committed company with its clients. Always available to help and solve any problem.Our car was great, comfortable and equipped with refrigerator, electricity and ceiling with opening for safari.We rented a car with a driver and it was the best choice we made. Our guide Mood was amazing, very attentive, personable and has lots of knowledge of the parks and animals. Mood also took us in different tribes to get to know the local culture. If you are renting a car, ask for this guide!!

Farraz, Moody, Abu! Thank you! It was an amazing experience. The route and overnight stays proposed by Farraz exceeded all our expectations. Memories from Manyara Secret and Kananga Tented Camp will stay forever in our memories. Moody - fantastic driver, knowledgeable guide and a very modest and helpful person. Thanks to his efforts we have seen all BIG5’s and many, many more.The car was very well equipped and resisted all bumpy roads, mud and rocks.Fantastic Experience!Thank you!

We have recently returned from our self-drive trip though Tanzania, where we had an amazing time spotting wildlife and camping in the beautiful nature on top of the car! During our 22-day self drive we did not spot anyone else with a car like ours (or self driving for that matter!). The car has given us some trouble and scary moments as we were driving an older Prado, but nevertheless the camping gear was complete and up to good standard, (new tent, chairs and table included as well as necessary cooking equipment) a cellphone was provided so we would not get lost, and even a ground tent was given. The service of Arusha car rental is especially great. If there were car troubles, FK was readily available and even send someone to fix the car when it broke down in the middle of Serengeti (+ arranged a replacement car with guide!). Regardless of the ups and downs we had with the car we would recommend the company, as the service was great and reliable!Many thanks.

We had an amazing 8 day Safari with a Toyota Prado. From the beginning the contact with Farraz was very very nice. He answered all my questions and helped me with the travel organization. The handover of the vehicle was perfect. An employee of Arusha Car Rental picked us up from the airport and explained us the car in 30 minutes. The setting up of the roof tent is very easy and done in less than 10 minutes. The equipment in the car was great! Farraz was always available via WhatsApp and phone and helped us whenever we had questions during our trip. We had minor issues with the car caused by the bad road conditions and the service of Arusha Car Rental was amazing! Farraz sent mechanics immediately. For the meantime he organized another safari car including guide so that we didn’t miss a day at Serengeti. He is also very good connected in the Serengeti area and many people there helped us as well. Farraz is very reliable and we didn’t need to worry at any time. We highly recommend this car rental! Overall the service was more than perfect!

My daughter and I had an amazing 16 day adventure in northern Tanzania with driver Moody and a Land Cruiser from Arusha Car Rental.Farraz, the owner of Arusha Car Rental, was really good about communicating with us back and forth many times as we figured out our itinerary. He booked everything for us (park entrance fees, campsites, and activities), provided all the camping gear we needed, helped us with our transport to and from the bus we took to Arusha, and even checked in with us at the end of our trip. We really appreciate his help.Our driver, Moody, was the absolute best! He is so friendly, knowledgeable, an incredibly safe driver, so much fun to be around, very smart, and was able to take care of the few little problems that we encountered. He truly had our complete trust and admiration! We were so thankful that we had him as a driver. He used the radio to keep in contact with other drivers to know where animals have been spotted, as well as he was incredibly good at spotting animals on his own that we would not have seen otherwise. We saw more than we ever expected to see on this trip! We have a ton of pictures to sort through, and incredible memories that will last us a lifetime. Many thanks to Moody!We highly recommend Arusha Car Rental & Safaris, and we highly recommend that you ask for Moody to be your driver. You will be in very good hands!

We opted for a self-drive safari and had a great experience with Arusha Car Rental. Farraz helped us pay for the park fees (which can be super confusing by yourself!) and was easy to contact on the weekend when we had a small problem at the park border. Farraz also went out of his way to return an item we left in the car. It was very easy to communicate with him via email and there were no hidden fees. Overall, the company has great customer service and I would highly recommend it, especially if you want to drive your own vehicle on safari!

Excellent Service !In all of our Trip in Tansania we did not see any equivalent car like the one we rented. Car was equipped with a sunroof, complete safari gears and special tires, which are very important in the challenging environment.Faraz ( Manager of the firm) supplied us a cellphone 24-7 Internet connection so we could connect in case anything would happen. Especially when we wanted to return our car - somehow our plane left two hours before scheduled - they made a tremendous effort to return the car so we could catch our flight.We definitely recommend this company. They are very helpful and trustworthy.

We just returned from a wonderful (= full of wonders!) trip through 4 beautiful Tanzanian National Parks using the Arusha Car Rental & Safaris company, based on excellent reviews and good interactions with the owner, Farraz. We originally planned to rent and drive a 4WD car ourselves but after thinking about it, made what we now know was the right decision to also hire a driver/guide.Moods, our driver, added a lot to the success of our trip. Not only was he friendly, pleasant to be around, knowledgeable, and able to locate many, many interesting animals, birds and places, but he also allowed us to focus on nature rather than on driving the often difficult, poorly marked roads.We saw a wide range of remarkable creatures, and were frequently alone with a quiet herd of elephants, a pride of lions lounging right next to our car, braying zebras streaming by and noisy aerobatic formations of huge flocks of storks. With Mood’s hard work we were even able to see a rhinoceros, at last, on our last day in Ngorongoro NP.We arranged our itinerary and reserved the lodges ourselves, with helpful advice from Farraz, and could not be more satisfied with the support and level of attention by the Arusha Car Rental/Safari team. We had complete freedom to plan the Safari we have always wanted, did not have to deal with staying in a cramped car with strangers, and are already considering returning and will definitely book with them again. Thanks Farraz and Moods!

Excellent car rental service if you want to visit any of the nearby national parks. The car was outstanding value for money and is perfectly suited for travelling inside safari parks. We visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara.Mr. Farraz was friendly and assisted us with organising the trip, transfers to the airport and even providing a phone for navigation. I would recommend him for anyone wishing to travel to Northern Tanzania and looking to go on either an organised trip or self-drive. I hope ti visit again one day. Thanks!!!

Highly recommend this fantastic company + a driver/tour guide who was exceptional.We were extremely happy with Arusha Car Rental & Safaris for our 21 day trip in northern Tanzania, a combination of camping & hotels. We couldn’t have asked for a better company for a trip that was superb in every way. Farraz’s response to any enquiry was fast, helpful and comprehensive. He organised all our camping equipment and a pop-up top Safari Toyota Land Cruiser. We met him and Mood when we arrived in Arusha, went over our travel plans where they both made suggestions which were extremely helpful & greatly appreciated. Farraz was extremely accommodating to any special requests and is very professional. During our travels he worked to ensure our trip went smoothly e.g. online quotations to game parks and any other requirements required. We highly recommend his company to anyone wanting a “trip of a lifetime” experience.Mood our driver/tour guide was excellent, very professional, caring, a beautiful human being and a delight to spend 21 days with. His attention to detail, knowledgeable explanations, happy and charming personality and willingness to ensure we had the best time 24/7 was outstanding. He is also a mechanic which is helpful on the terrible dirt roads. His English is excellent. He organised all the tour guides who were very experienced as we approached areas requiring an expert, chose affordable and lovely hotels and advised us with all our enquiries. Thank you Mood for everything, we both thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this trip so amazing and full of unforgettable memories.Sharon & Ernst PfenningerSydneyAustralia

Independent self-drive 10 days safari in Northern TanzaniaImagine just the two of us guys (me 74 years of age and my German nephew 48) hopelessly bogged at dusk on the way to our designated ‘special’ campsite in the middle of the Serengeti. No problem, we just set up the rooftop tent on the Prado we had hired from Arusha Car Rental and spent the night in relative comfort with the aid of a beer or two from the onboard refrigerator. In the morning we were quickly towed out of the bog by another passing 4x4. That was the only real drama we experienced on our 10 days hire. There were a couple of minor electrical fault issues but these did not prevent us continuing on our safari – such issues can be expected since the vehicle is continuously subjected to a hammering from the very bumpy dirt roads traversed in Tanzania. The vehicle was equipped with a good standard of camping gear, an extra ground tent with mattress and sleeping bag, everything necessary for cooking and relaxing, and a cellphone with maps was also provided. We largely travelled in a circuit from Arusha to Lake Manyara NP, Lake Eyasi visiting both Hadzabe and Datoga tribes, the massive Ngorongoro Crater, the beautiful Empakaai Crater and the remote Maasai Village of Nyobi, the Olduvai Gorge and museum (expensive but worth the visit), the vast plains of the Serengeti NP, the immense Lake Natron (including a waterfall, flamingos and 120,000 y.o. human footprints) and the magnificent Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano before returning to Arusha. An incredible experience packed with lots of game viewing, African tribal cultures, archaeological and geological wonders. All this made possible with the expert advice and assistance of Farraz Khadim, the manager of Arusha Car Rental and Safaris. FK booked all our park entrance fees and found and booked all our campsites (6 private ‘special’ campsites and 2 tribes campsites) – given the limited availability at that time, not an easy task, what a champion. We found FK to be an impeccably honest gentleman and have no hesitation in recommending Arusha Car Rental and Safaris to anyone wishing to have a similar magic safari experience.

My mother and I had an amazing day at arusha national park with an awesome guide/driver named Mood. We were fortunate to see many animals including giraffes, zebras, white colobus monkeys, flamingos and so much more! Mood is absolutely wonderful - very friendly, funny, knowledgeable & gentle. He is the perfect guide! If you book through arusha car rentals, you can arrange via email and get an extremely good price. It was an unforgettable day! :)

Mr Farraz and his team were exceptionally professional and accommodating. We rented a Toyota Prado Land Cruiser that was in excellent condition which we took to Ol Doinya Lengai, Ngorogoro Crater and Arusha National Park. Farraz brought the vehicle to us and allowed us to drop it at a convenient location in Arusha. The price was fair and I will definitely use him in the future for rentals. Asante sana!

In short: Book your self drive safari at Arusha Car Rental & Safaris! It is a reliable and professional company.We did our self drive safari through Arusha Car Rental. We did a 5 day safari through the Serengeti in Oktober 2018.Not only is self drive the cheapest way of doing safari, it is also the best and most enjoyable! Going where you want to go, how you want to go there and how long you want to stay somewhere - without a 3rd opinion who might get bored quickly (something we noticed from other cars more then once).You dont have to worry about not seeing any animals, they are around everywhere! We ( a young couple) spotted lions, Ocelot, Cheetah, Hyena and many many gras eating animals all by ourselves. Without any other cars around (for a little bit of time at least).About Arusha Car Rental: Farraz (the Owner) is very nice and reliable. The car we rented (Toyota Prado with a roof top tent) was in really good condition, clean and all items required for camping came included.

We had the car for about 10 days and went from Arusha via Lake Natron, Serengeti and Ngorogoro further south to the Udzungwa Mountains and finally to Dar es Salaam, where we returned the car.Communication was very good both before the trip and during the trip if necessary. The handover (next to a church) was super quick and easy after a brief introduction to the car and equipment. Unfortunately, the battery died on the first day - but with friendly helpers on site, we were able to start the car again and drive to the destination, where the battery was replaced the next day by craftsmen from Arusha Car Rental.The car was already quite old, had about 320,000 km on the speedometer and the road conditions do the rest, which is why minor defects can occur. However, they tried very hard to repair damage and defects as quickly as possible. Despite the old year of construction, the car is still well suited for the roads there and basically drove reliably. It was also great for safaris and one had the best view of the surrounding landscape and the wild animals through the roof window.The equipment and the tent were also okay, but the equipment could be better secured because everything slips around on the streets and is loud because it is only loosely in the trunk.Compared to other car rental companies with a roof tent, this was much cheaper, which is why we can definitely recommend it despite the little things. The deposit was also reliably reimbursed 1 week after it was returned and we were not charged for falling rocks out of goodwill. All in all, the car brought us safely through the Tanzania adventure.

We rented the Toyota Prado Landcruiser for 9 days. Arusha Car Rental really made us feel supportive and professional in those 9 days. Always available and helpful. Do not hesitate to drive independently through beautiful Tanzania, it is adventurous and can be done very well with good preparation. Partly thanks to Arusha Car Rental, our self-drive through Tanzania has become a great experience! Price quality ratio really great!We want to say a big thank you to Farraz and his team!Greetings Paul and Regi from the Netherlands

UNBEATABLE.First we rented a Land Cruiser, without a driver, with a tent on the roof and everything necessary for camping (table, chairs, fridge, plates and glasses ....). The vehicle was in perfect condition and the best treatment, taking the vehicle to the hotel and also picking it up.All done with contract and full guarantees. Answering any questions or problems through call or whatsapp, immediately.After this good experience, we encourage you to rent a Rav4 with identical results.Zacharias, mechanic and in charge of the management, is a professional and helps you in everything you need.
