Zanzibar Airport to Nungwi: Transfers and Taxi
If you are on a visit to Tanzania, don’t miss Nungwi. The resort is famous for its bright sunny palm-lined beach with water boat entertainments.
The best approachable transport offer between the air hub and the resort is to get on the already booked private Kiwitaxi transfer. The procedure is just simple: go to the website, enter your destinations, and book a ride. The transfers offer you many advantages over the other travel options.
You don’t have to bargain with native speaking drivers.
You get a fixed rate ride without any hidden supplements.
You can choose one of nine vehicles from economy to premium according to the group of people you are travelling with.
If you are travelling with family, you can order child car seats separately and they obligatory will be in the cabin.
The trip will cost you from 50 EUR.
Taxi system at Zanzibar airport is not well regulated as compared with other international air hubs. There are official taxis, hotel booked taxis, and local companies. If you want to know the exact Zanzibar airport to Nungwi taxi price, you may either check it on the destination board at the taxi rank or bargain with the drivers. Usually, airport taxis are way more expensive than the cabs outside the airport. On average, taxi price from Zanzibar airport to Nungwi is about 55 EUR.
Disadvantages:
You may encounter people at the airport who will take the luggage from your hands and leave it to the cab expecting big tips from you.
The taxis are not metered and you must pay a negotiated price that can be much higher than usual metered prices.
A local vehicle known as DalaDala takes in passengers from the airport to the destined resorts. This vehicle is like an open-air truck and not comfortable to ride with. It takes 20 people at a time. This bus will not go to Nungwi directly, rather it will leave for Stone town first, and then from Stone Town towards Nungwi. The prices are a bit irregular. You can expect 2000 TSH per one way.
Disadvantages:
On bright sunny days when the weather is very hot, it won’t be a wise choice to travel in an open truck.
If you have children with you, the crowded truck won’t suit at all.
It will save money but the time to reach your destination will be quite long.
The travel distance between these spots is about 67.4 km via Nungwi Road. This route passes through different villages.
