Storyline about transportation in Sudan

Taxis are a very convenient way of getting around cities in Sudan and fares are inexpensive. So, there are two types of taxis, those that take you as a passenger from point A to point B. These taxis are not metered, so you have to make sure to agree on the fee before you leave. Then there are bakassis, which are more off a minibus shared taxi that have no set stops but simply pick people up and drop them off as requested. Both types of taxi can simply be flagged down from the side of the road.

Car rentals are available from Sudan airports and in major city centers but tend not to be the most popular mode of transportation because rental fees are high. And independent travel by road comes with a risk in many areas. If you do rent, then go for a four-wheel drive as some roads, especially those outside of cities, are undeveloped and can be difficult to navigate. Roads outside of centers like Khartoum are often unsafe and travelers intent on visiting remote areas should be accompanied by a guide or local driver.
