About this route
Nungwi, at the northern tip of Zanzibar, is famous for sunsets, dhow building and swimming at any tide. Zuri Zanzibar is a design-led beach resort on Kendwa's tide-free sands.
Our Nungwi to Zuri Zanzibar (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 5 km. Most trips take around 20 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.
