Our Mangapwani to Kiwengwa transfer is a private, door-to-door ride — no shared shuttles and no waiting for other guests.

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.
