About this route
Nungwi, at the northern tip of Zanzibar, is famous for sunsets, dhow building and swimming at any tide. Bububu is a village just north of Stone Town, close to the Persian baths and Fuji Beach.
Our Nungwi to Bububu 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 55 km. Most trips take around 65 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.
