Local Tips for Zanzibar Travelers
Meet and Greet Zanzibar's airport can be chaotic. Having a driver waiting with your name on a sign saves stress and time.
Currency Matters: While we accept online bookings, small tips in USD or Tanzanian Shillings (TZS) are always appreciated by local drivers.
Island Time: Traffic around Stone Town can be heavy. We always recommend leaving 3 hours before your flight for Nungwi or Paje departures.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a taxi in Zanzibar?
Taxi prices in Zanzibar depend on the distance, destination, and type of vehicle required. A short transfer from Zanzibar Airport to Stone Town typically starts from $15, while longer trips such as Airport to Nungwi or Kendwa usually range between $40 for 1-3 passengers vehichle.
We provide fixed pricing rather than meter-based fares, meaning you will always know the cost before your journey begins. This helps avoid confusion and ensures a transparent and fair experience for all travelers.
For group travel, prices vary depending on vehicle size, but we always recommend the most cost-effective option based on your group size.
Are your taxi prices fixed or do they change?
All our taxi prices are fixed and agreed in advance before your trip. There are no hidden charges, no surge pricing, and no unexpected costs during your journey.
In some cases, minor adjustments may apply depending on:
- Exact pickup or drop-off location (especially remote areas)
- Number of passengers or luggage
- Special requests (extra stops, waiting time, etc.)
Any changes are always clearly communicated and confirmed before the booking is finalized.

We also accept last-minute bookings depending on availability.
How does airport pickup work in Zanzibar?
When you arrive at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, your driver will be waiting outside the arrivals area holding a sign with your name. Here’s what you can expect:
- Your flight is monitored in real time
- Your driver adjusts pickup time if your flight is delayed
- You receive assistance with your luggage
- You are guided directly to your vehicle
This ensures a smooth and stress-free arrival experience, even if it’s your first time visiting Zanzibar.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track all incoming flights, so your driver will automatically adjust your pickup time based on your actual arrival.
There are no extra charges for reasonable delays. Your driver will wait and ensure your transfer is completed without any stress.
Is your airport transfer service available at night?
Yes, our airport taxi service operates 24/7, including late-night and early morning arrivals. Whether your flight lands at midnight or early morning, a driver will be available to pick you up safely and on time.
Where exactly will I meet my driver at Zanzibar Airport?
After landing at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport and completing immigration and baggage collection, you will exit through the arrivals area.
Your driver will be waiting just outside the arrivals gate, holding a sign with your name clearly written on it. This makes it easy to identify your driver, even during busy arrival times.
If for any reason you cannot immediately locate your driver, you can contact us via WhatsApp or phone, and we will guide you instantly. Our team stays in communication to ensure you are picked up smoothly without confusion or delays.
How long does the driver wait after my flight lands?
Your driver will wait for you for up to 60 minutes after your flight has landed, giving you enough time to complete immigration, collect your luggage, and exit the airport.
Because we track your flight in real time, the waiting time starts from the actual landing time, not the scheduled arrival time. This ensures fairness and flexibility, especially if your flight arrives early or late.
If you expect additional delays (for example, lost luggage), simply inform us via WhatsApp, and we will coordinate with your driver to extend the waiting time where possible.
