Request to go to Mangrove Cove, which is located near the waterfront. The ride will take approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic. Inform the driver to drop you at the entrance to the Mangrove Cove area, which is a popular destination so they should be familiar with it.

From the city center, head to the nearest Daladala station. Look for the Daladala heading towards 'Kigamboni' or any route that goes towards the coast. Get off at the stop closest to the ferry terminal. From there, take a short walk to the ferry dock and board the ferry to Kigamboni.
