About this route
Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park is the only home of the rare Zanzibar red colobus monkey. Bububu is a village just north of Stone Town, close to the Persian baths and Fuji Beach.
Our Jozani Forest to Bububu 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 37 km. Most trips take around 49 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.
