About this route
Paje is Zanzibar's kitesurfing capital, with a lively beach scene and bright white sand. Kendwa, just south of Nungwi, has one of the island's best tide-free beaches and the famous full moon parties.
Our Paje to Kendwa transfer is a private, door-to-door ride — no shared shuttles and no waiting for other guests.

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.
