Driving to Arusha? The New Guide to Cross-Border Travel

Kenya is beautiful, but sometimes you want to explore our neighbors. Driving to Arusha or Kampala used to be a paperwork nightmare. In 2026, things are smoother with the digitized East African Tourist Visa and simplified Temporary Importation of Vehicles (TIV) processes.

We break down exactly what you need: the Comesa yellow card insurance, the logbook deposit requirements, and the specific items (like fire extinguishers and reflector vests) that Tanzanian traffic police look for. Don't let paperwork stop your adventure. Pack your bags; the region is open.
