Car rental in Mwanza, Tanzania

We run field visits across Geita, Simiyu and Shinyanga every month. Three years in, a Victoria Rentals car has never once failed to arrive. The drivers know the district roads better than our own maps.

Picked up at Mwanza airport, in the Serengeti by lunchtime. The roof hatch made the difference — my wife took photographs standing up for four days straight. Cold water in the cooler box the whole way.

Our company holds a monthly account with them. One invoice, signed trip sheets, no arguments at the end of the month. That is worth more to me than a cheaper daily rate elsewhere.

Three matching black Land Cruisers for our wedding, all polished, all on time, drivers in proper suits. They arrived an hour before we asked them to. Nothing to complain about.

Eleven days across the western corridor with heavy camera equipment. The dual battery kept everything charged and the vehicle handled the wet season tracks without a single problem.

Site runs on gravel, six days a week, and they still turn up clean every morning. When one car had a puncture on the Sengerema road a replacement was with us inside two hours.
