Zanzibar Airport to Matemwe

The drive

North through Mahonda, then east across to the coast at Pwani Mchangani and up to Matemwe. The final section is a narrower coastal road through the village.

Planning your arrival in Matemwe

Matemwe exists for Mnemba: boats leave from the beach in front of the hotels, usually between 7am and 8am, so an early arrival day still lets you snorkel the next morning. Tides matter for launching, and your operator will confirm the exact time the evening before.

What happens after you book

1. 1. You choose your hotel and vehicle, and see the fixed fare before paying.
2. 2. We confirm the driver and pickup details on WhatsApp.
3. 3. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with your name — flight delays are tracked, so nobody leaves without you.
4. 4. The ride appears in My Rafiki with the driver's details and live tracking.
