About this route
Fumba sits on a peninsula in the south-west, home to Fumba Town and the Menai Bay conservation area. Matemwe on the north-east coast is a peaceful fishing village and the launch point for Mnemba Atoll snorkelling.
Our Fumba to Matemwe transfer is a private, door-to-door ride — no shared shuttles and no waiting for other guests. Your driver tracks your flight or ferry, waits with a name sign, helps with luggage and takes the fastest road, roughly 65 km. Most trips take around 73 minutes depending on traffic and road works.
The price is fixed per vehicle, not per person, and includes fuel, bottled water and waiting time. Pay by card, mobile money (M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel) or cash in USD or TZS to the driver.
