About this route
Mangapwani on the north-west coast is known for its historic slave caves and calm beach. Kendwa, just south of Nungwi, has one of the island's best tide-free beaches and the famous full moon parties.
Our Mangapwani to Kendwa 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 38 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.
