Getting from Zanzibar airport to the city center

Zanzibar is served by Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ), located approximately 5 km south of Stone Town, the island's historic city center. This compact distance makes airport transfers to city center destinations relatively quick and affordable. Transport options include taxis, private transfers, shared shuttles, dala-dalas (local minibuses), and ride-hailing services. Journey times typically range from 10 to 25 minutes depending on traffic conditions and your chosen mode of transport.

Notes:

  • Prices in TZS; table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • Taxi fares from the airport are generally fixed; confirm the price before departure.
  • Dala-dalas do not run on fixed schedules and may require a short walk from the airport entrance.
  • Ride-hailing availability in Zanzibar can be limited; have a backup plan.
  • Many hotels and resorts offer complimentary or paid airport transfers when pre-booked.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites for your travel planning.
