The Central Corridor

From the Port of Dar es Salaam the road runs inland through Morogoro, Dodoma and Singida to the Isaka area, then north-west to the Rusumo Falls border with Rwanda, a one-stop border post, and on to Kigali.

Choosing a corridor

Mombasa and Dar es Salaam both serve Rwanda. Port congestion, shipping-line schedules and the cargo itself decide which is better at any given time. See Mombasa to Kigali for the Northern Corridor option.
