Area: Abeid Amani Karume International Airport

The first hour in a new country sets the tone for the trip. Arriving at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport after a long flight and negotiating a fare with a stranger is nobody’s idea of a good start.

Our driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name board, helps with your luggage and takes you straight to your hotel. The price is agreed before you travel and does not change, whatever the traffic or the hour.

We monitor your flight. If you land late, the driver waits. If your flight is diverted or cancelled, we reschedule at no extra charge. There is no waiting fee for a delayed flight.

Vehicles are air-conditioned and the drivers speak English. Child seats are available on request, and we carry bottled water in every vehicle.

Getting to the airport on time in Zanzibar means knowing the road. The drive from the east coast varies considerably with the time of day, the state of the road and the season, and a schedule set by guesswork is how people miss flights.

We work your pickup time back from your check-in, allowing for your hotel’s location, the day of the week and the time of day. Your driver arrives at the agreed time, helps with luggage and takes you directly to departures.

The price is fixed and agreed in advance. If your flight time changes, tell us and we adjust the pickup at no charge.

If you have a late flight and an earlier check-out, we will arrange a day room, a stop in Stone Town or a final excursion so the last day is not spent sitting in a lobby. Just ask.
