Discover the Enchantment of Zanzibar

Getting There

• Public Transportation - Dala Dala

  If you are in Stone Town, take a Dala Dala (minibus) heading to your desired destination. Look for the ones marked for 'Mkokotoni' or 'Kizimkazi', as they frequently pass through central areas. The fare is typically around TZS 500-1000. Be sure to have some small change ready. The Dala Dala station is located near the Old Fort. After boarding, inform the conductor of your destination or ask any local for assistance.

• Taxi

  For a more direct route, you can hire a taxi. You can find taxis in Stone Town or order one through your hotel. The cost will depend on your starting point, but expect to pay between $10-20 for a trip around the island. Always negotiate the price before starting your journey. Taxis are a good option if you’re traveling with luggage or in a group.

• Car Rental

  If you prefer driving, you can rent a car in Zanzibar. Major rental companies are located in Stone Town. To reach your destination, follow the main roads that connect Stone Town with the northern and eastern parts of the island. Ensure you have an international driving permit and be aware that driving is on the left side of the road. Parking can be found at various attractions but may incur additional charges.

• Bicycle Rental

  For a more adventurous experience, consider renting a bicycle. There are several rental shops in Stone Town. Riding a bike allows you to explore the island at your own pace. Make sure to wear a helmet (which may be provided) and follow the local traffic rules. You can ride along the coast and enjoy the beautiful scenery while heading towards your destination.
