Car Rental Zanzibar — Self-Drive, Chauffeur & Airport Transfer from $25/Day
ZanDrive is Zanzibar’s most trusted car rental company. Whether you want to explore Nungwi’s white-sand beaches at your own pace, transfer directly from Zanzibar International Airport (ZNZ) to your resort, or hire a professional local driver for a stress-free island experience — we have the right vehicle, the right price, and the fastest booking process on the island.
Why Rent a Car in Kiwengwa?
Kiwengwa sits on Zanzibar’s northeast coast one of the island’s most beautiful and upscale stretches of shoreline. While the beach itself is stunning, the real magic of Zanzibar begins the moment you leave your resort. With a rental car, you can drive to
Mnemba Island Atoll for world-class snorkeling, explore the
spice farms near Stone Town, visit the
Red Colobus monkeys at Jozani Forest, or simply follow the coastal road north to
Matemwe and
Nungwi
at your own pace.
Public transport in Kiwengwa is limited and taxis add up quickly a rental car from ZanDrive gives you
total freedom for less than the cost of two private taxi trips per day.

Where to Go From Kiwengwa — Top Destinations by Car
Mnemba Island Atoll
The finest snorkeling and diving site in all of Zanzibar is just offshore from Kiwengwa and neighboring
Matemwe.
Drive north along the coast (15 minutes), park at the beach, and arrange a boat transfer to the atoll.
Without your own car, reaching this area independently is extremely difficult.
Stone Town — UNESCO Heritage Site
Zanzibar’s historic capital is 45 minutes southwest of Kiwengwa. Visit the
Old Fort, Freddie Mercury Museum, House of Wonders, and the famous
Forodhani Night Market. Best visited in the late afternoon and early evening — with your own car you can leave whenever you like.
Matemwe Beach
Just 10 minutes north of Kiwengwa,
Matemwe
is one of Zanzibar’s quietest and most pristine beaches. Excellent for snorkeling directly from the shore and watching local fishermen set out at sunrise.
Jozani Forest & Kizimkazi Dolphins
A full-day south coast excursion from Kiwengwa takes you to Jozani Forest National Park to see the rare endemic
Red Colobus monkeys, followed by dolphin swimming at Kizimkazi on the southern tip.
About 1.5 hours drive — well worth it.
