About this route
Uroa is a relaxed east-coast village with wide tidal flats and local fishing life. Mangapwani on the north-west coast is known for its historic slave caves and calm beach.
Our Uroa to Mangapwani 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 35 km. Most trips take around 47 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.
