About this route
Michamvi peninsula is home to The Rock Restaurant and some of the best sunset views on the east coast. Chwaka sits on Chwaka Bay, a mangrove-lined bay popular for seafood and quiet stays.
Our Michamvi to Chwaka 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 7 km. Most trips take around 22 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.
