When landing at Zanzibar Airport in Tanzania, to make your way to the city center – known as Stone Town – you have three transportation options; you can take a taxi, a private transfer, or a local bus called a dala dala. Taking a Zanzibar Airport taxi or a private transfer to Stone Town is definitely the best way to travel as taxis are reliable, safe, and comfortable, getting you to Stone Town in just 15 minutes.
For a cost-savvy and adventurous option, travelers can take a dala dala from the airport, which takes around 30 minutes. These are shared minivans or trucks that seat up to 15 people and depart when full, which can add time to your overall journey.
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Zanzibar at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
