About this route
Makunduchi in the far south is known for the Mwaka Kogwa festival and untouched beaches. Matemwe on the north-east coast is a peaceful fishing village and the launch point for Mnemba Atoll snorkelling.
Our Makunduchi 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 85 km. Most trips take around 91 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.
