About this route
Michamvi peninsula is home to The Rock Restaurant and some of the best sunset views on the east coast. Paje is Zanzibar's kitesurfing capital, with a lively beach scene and bright white sand.
Our Michamvi to Paje 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 17 km. Most trips take around 30 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.
