Zanzibar Airport to Paje: Transfers and Taxi
Paje is a beautiful Tanzanian village with many reasons to be visited. The best travel option to reach here from the air hub is to get on an already hired transfer. Check our website! We have various variants from 4 seater economy car to a minibus that has capacity for 19 people at a time. You can select a car according to your preferences. Booking is very simple, just add your locations, make an online payment, and boom there you go! One hour waiting time is included for every vehicle. Let us know before in case you are travelling with children for the children seats must be ordered separately. It will cost you from 52 USD, and the journey will be completed in 1 hour 10 minutes. Our driver will be waiting for you at the arrivals and help you with luggage. Get yourself a quick, affordable, and relaxing journey all along the route.
Official airport taxis are much expensive. The drivers may start from 70 USD for Paje beach, and you have to bargain with them to cut down the price. Recently, a fare board has also been marked over the taxi rank, it shows a fare list according to the destinations. However, this system is new and not much regulated by authorities. Mostly, you must negotiate with the drivers and set a fixed rate for your last stop. Uber is not available. Getting a shared ride with other passengers may be an effective option to save your cost.
Discomforts:
The drivers also expect you to pay them big tips in addition to the decided fare.
At rush hours, you must stand in long queues and wait for hours to get a cab.
Most of the cars have only 4 seats, minivans are limited, so if you travel with a big company, it would be difficult to fit in.
Officially, there is no public transportation, however, some local transport means like DalaDala, an open-air truck, and a minivan offer the passengers a cheap way of travel. It will cost you from 2000 TZS, and you must change the route at Stone Town. If you are on a budget, getting on either of these lorries will be an attractive option but the comfort level of such a journey is very low.
Discomforts:
Usually, there is a hot weather on the island. So, travelling on an open truck might get you to catch a sunburn.
The travel time to reach your resort will also be more than by a direct transfer.
The travel distance between these spots is about 49.8 km via Nyerere Road. The route quality is well suited for cars.
