Airport transfer
Private transfers from Zanzibar Airport (ZNZ) to Kendwa take about 1 hour 10 minutes up the west coast. Fixed price, vetted drivers, meet and greet.
Kendwa shares the northern road with Nungwi and turns off a few minutes earlier, down a short access track to the beach hotels. Expect around 1 hour 10 minutes door to door.
Kendwa hotels sit right on the sand and several have vehicle drop-offs a short walk from reception; porters usually meet guests at the gate. If you are arriving for a full-moon party weekend, book the return transfer at the same time — cars get scarce on the north coast those nights.
Fares depend on your exact hotel and vehicle, so RAFIKI quotes them live rather than publishing a list that goes out of date.
