Roads

Malawi border - Iringa

Good tar all way but with odd pothole, gets a bit narrow from time to time

Iringa - Karatu via Dodoma & Kondoa

Tar in towns. Gravel and sand elsewhere, sometimes smooth but mostly pretty bumpy and slow. After Babati road appears to become good, then the corrugations start, they are bad!, look for the small car sand tracks off to the side. Also look out for the high speed buses.

Karatu - Tanga via Arusha & Moshi, Tanga - Msata

Lovely tar, be careful of nasty speed bumps, annoying police stops and manic buses

Tanga - Peponi Beach Resort

Bouncy and slow but passable, 1hr to do the 32km

Msata - Bagamoyo

Not bad earth/gravel road but does deteriate toward Bagamoyo where it becomes tar to Dar E. S.

Kibiti to Selous Game Reserve to Ikwiriri

Sandy earth track, fairly easygoing.

Dar ES to Kilwa Masoko

Mostly tar and working to get alot more but still fair bit that is sandy & occasionally very bumpy

Kilwa Masoko to Mtwara

Lots of tar section and lots of work to build more, give it a year and this should all be tar

Mtwara to Ruvumu River ferry 'dock'

Follow tar S towards airport, turning off onto gravel earth sand road, 2km ish, before airport. road ok
