About this route
Nungwi, at the northern tip of Zanzibar, is famous for sunsets, dhow building and swimming at any tide. Kendwa, just south of Nungwi, has one of the island's best tide-free beaches and the famous full moon parties.
Our Nungwi 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 4 km. Most trips take around 19 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.
