What are the most spectacular roads in Tanzania?

Situated in the Eastern part of Africa, Tanzania is a true paradise for drivers, with countless roads offering views of a very diverse landscape. The country hosts many lakes, national parks, and Africa's highest point, Mount Kilimanjaro (at 5,895 m or 19,341 ft asl). The peak was the scenario for an altitude record by motorcycle in Africa.

The northeastern part of the country is mountainous, while the central area is part of a large plateau covered in grasslands. So, the country offers options to every driver. Don’t forget the R7, an unpaved road running through Ruaha National Park, or the road to Kibo Hut, a high mountain hut at 4,750m (15,520ft) above sea level, in the Moshi District. At this elevation, it’s one of the highest roads in Africa. With an area of approximately 947,303 square kilometers, Tanzania shares borders with eight countries: Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique.
