Getting there

Walking

From the heart of Stone Town, head towards the waterfront along the Mizingani Seafront. Continue walking along the seafront until you reach Forodhani Gardens. From there, take the path leading towards the ferry terminal. You will cross a small road where you may find local vendors and shops. After passing the terminal, follow the signs leading towards the main road (Nyerere Road). Keep walking straight on Nyerere Road until you reach the junction with the sign pointing to Kizimkazi. At this junction, you can either catch a local dala-dala (shared minibus) heading towards Kizimkazi or continue walking. If you choose to walk, follow the road down south, which will eventually lead you to Kizimkazi Dimbani.

Dala-dala

From the central area of Stone Town, head to the nearest dala-dala stop, which is usually found near the Old Fort or along Nyerere Road. Look for a dala-dala marked for Kizimkazi. The fare is minimal, and the ride takes about 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. You'll pass through local villages and scenic landscapes; make sure to inform the driver you want to get off at the Salaam Cave Aquarium in Kizimkazi Dimbani. Once you arrive, the entrance to the aquarium will be nearby, and you can easily walk to it from the stop.
