Airport to Zanzibar City Center Transport
Transport from Abeid Amani Karume International Airport to Zanzibar city center is available by local dala-dala bus, taxi, car rental, hotel shuttle, or pre-booked private transfer. The airport is about 5 km south of Zanzibar City, so most road journeys to Stone Town or Darajani take around 15-30 minutes, depending on traffic and luggage.
Bus
Local public transport is provided by dala-dala minibuses rather than conventional municipal buses. They are the cheapest way to travel from Zanzibar Airport to the city center, usually departing from stops near the airport road or Terminal 2 area and heading toward Darajani Market, the main transport hub for Stone Town. The average journey time is about 20-30 minutes.
- Line 505: airport area to Darajani Market / Stone Town
- Other airport-area dala-dala routes may include 516, 526, 535, and 536, but these may serve outer parts of Zanzibar City rather than the historic center
- Darajani Market is the most useful stop for travelers continuing into Stone Town
Airport Shuttle
There is no Havas or Havabus-style airport shuttle system at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport. Some hotels and tour operators offer scheduled or shared airport shuttles, and these should normally be arranged before arrival. Travel time to Zanzibar city center is usually around 15-25 minutes.
- Hotel shuttle to Stone Town accommodations
- Shared shuttle to Darajani or central Stone Town, when offered by local operators
- Resort shuttle with city-center drop-off by prior arrangement
Taxi
Taxis are available at Zanzibar Airport 24/7 and are the simplest option for direct transport to Stone Town, Darajani, the ferry terminal, or hotels in Zanzibar city center. The average taxi ride takes about 15-20 minutes in normal traffic.
- Direct taxi from the arrivals area to Stone Town hotels
- Taxi to Darajani Market for onward dala-dala connections
- Taxi to Zanzibar Ferry Terminal for boats to Dar es Salaam
Car Rental
Car rental is available through airport-based and local rental offices, with vehicles typically collected at the terminal exit or delivered to the arrivals area. Driving to Zanzibar city center takes about 15-25 minutes, but a car is more useful for exploring beaches and villages outside Stone Town than for moving around the compact historic center.

- Terminal-exit vehicle handover
- Pre-arranged rental car delivery for arrival flights
Transfer

- Meet-and-greet pickup at the arrivals hall
- Pre-booked transfer to Darajani, the ferry terminal, or central Zanzibar City
