Tanzania - temporary import permit or carnet

Hi

I am reading conflicting advice. If we buy a landcruiser in S.A and drive up to Tanzania and back down to S.A via Botswana and Namibia could we do this without a carnet.

If the car is S.A registered then we won't need a carnet for S.A, Botswana or Namibia, the only place we may need a carnet it seems is Tanzania - does anyone know if it is possible to get a temporary import permit for Tanzania rather than go through the hassle getting a carnet for one country?


Thanks
Tammy

We came through TZ in Jan'07 and we used the carnet we were forced to buy for Kenya. When we drove up Jan'05 though we used a TIP. Sorry that the info is not more recent though.

YOU can enter Tanzania without a Carnet de Passage. They will issue you a Temporary thing (TIP , lassez passe , etc)

however people with a Carnet , will have the oportunity to use it if that makes
them happy.

but not .Not required.
