- John PAmed, Indonesia7 contributionsExcellent communication and always on timeI used Zan Island Taxis on Zanzibar for all of my taxi needs. Excellent communication via WhatsApp. Prices were also much better than what our hotel offered. Our driver was always on time or actually waiting for us to arrive. Very comfortable driving style and also good information about the Island and the activities we wanted to do. Also booked our snorkling trip via them for a good price. I read bad reviews on some other pre book taxi companies about no shows at the airport etc. I had no worries with this company so high recommendations from me.Visited October 2023Traveled with familyWritten October 22, 2023
- PippononlosaParis, France542 contributionsReliable and professionalFrom the very beginning, excellent communication with Mr Othman when enquiring about tariffs. We used Zan Island taxi services in November on several occasions, from airport to hotel and vice-versa, from hotel to other places like Jozani... pick-up was always there. So relaxing to find a reliable company. Moreover, we also had to request some last minute changes, or had to inform that our flight was delayed, it never was a problem. A very professional experience. Do not hesitate.Visited November 2023Traveled with friendsWritten November 30, 2023
- Lena N3 contributionsReliable, on time and great taxi driversWe moved around in Zanzibar 5-6 times and always with Zan island. They were always on time. Friendly, listening and down to earth. They drove us in the middle of the night to the airport, all went smooth. Always so easy to communicate with. Can really recommend if you want a reliable taxi!Visited December 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten December 14, 2023
- Teo R5 contributionsRecommended to all visitors. Thank you Mr Othman.Probably the best person (Othman) and the best professional transfer and tour service we’ve met on Zanzibar. He really saved our holidays. We had a bad hotel experience and had to leave very early morning. Othman responded my message at 6:30 am and did his best to help us with our transfer. Because he earned our trust, we asked him to organize all our tours and transfers on Zanzibar. The most amazing is that he returned cash all our money back because our planned safari trip was cancelled by the flight company. Honest, respectful, good character and professional. Recommended to all visitors. Thank you very much Mr Othman.Visited January 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten January 17, 2024
- Steve P26 contributionsZanzibar Taxi reviewMy wife and I booked the Zan Island Taxi whist in Qatar before the holiday began. I have to say that the experience was good and the driver who was a bubbly English speaking man was waiting as briefed! He gave us a totally immersed brief about his country while we were taken to Stonehouse and seemed very happy to be doing so. We used the service three more times ultimately to take us back to the Airport when we left. WhatsApp contact each time made easy for booking. Great service, paid in USD at what we felt was a good rate! Certainly cheaper than the Hotel shuttles or Private Hires.Visited June 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten June 12, 2024

I cannot give enough praise in terms of the perfect and totally positive experience we had with Othman! His response time and communication over WhatsApp was fast and effective. He made sure me and my son got to/from Nungwi on time and in an incredibly safe manner. Unlike many other vans in the area, his was very clean and free of stains and odor. He was totally professional and always showed up on time. But most importantly, he was a very safe driver. Our flight from Nungwi had us driving at night on very dark roads and in a rain storm! He is a skilled and experienced driver and I trusted him whole heartedly. He knows the ins and outs of the airport and suggested a pick up time that made sure we beat the night time crowds. Finally, his fixed prices were on par with other vehicles so even though his service was above standard, he didn't try to profit off of that. Absolutely we will use Othman again on a future trip to Zanzibar!

Used the service multiple times during our stay and it was the best service we received on the island. Fast response via WhatsApp (practically instant), super clean vehicles with great A/C, drivers always a few minutes early and prices are very reasonable (half what hotels try to charge). Use them for all your transport around the island.

Friendly, reliable, professional, knowledgable, good English and above all our priority was safety. Mr Othman ticks all these boxes. His service is impeccable, I would highly recommend booking him for all your trips. We used his service for the entire duration of our 5 day trip to Zanzibar, he organised our trip to prison island and nakupenda - and it was by far our best excursion.
He is very flexible with altering plans, and more than reasonable with pricing.
He has nearly a decade of history of working in tourism and it really shines through his knowledge and demeanour.
Thank you Mr. Othman!

Everything was perfect!
Mr Othman and his other drivers (eg Abdul) provided everything you can want from a taxi service. They were punctual, friendly, efficient, and safe drivers. They also shared some interesting history about Zanzibar and what we were driving past (upon our request). Lastly, service was reasonably priced and the vans used were clean and roomy.
I could not imagine anything better than the experience I had. Thanks!

Othman and his drivers were super professional, always early, very honest and would accommodate changes to our trips with very short notice. Their cars are very clean, spacious and comfortable and their pricing is very fair in comparison to other drivers or hotel shuttles. We had a little baby with us and he made sure to drive carefully at all times. Highly recommend them and we will definitely be using them again too!

We will always book with Mr. Othman whenever we visit Zanzibar. We arranged all transport via email and agreed on a price in advance which helped to know how much cash I needed to carry (we paid in USD). Mr. Othman was waiting for us when we got off our flight (one less thing to stress about after a long flight). His vehicle was clean, large and air conditioned. He offered us suggestions on activities and where to go plus a little history about the island. He’s your guy - don’t go elsewhere.

Highly recommend them. They have good prices and they are professional. We’ve booked a few days in advance for an airport pickup and the driver came on time, waiting for us and helping us with the luggage. Super friendly and speaks very well English. The car is clean as well. We really had a good experience with them that we ordered a drop off as well. They are responsive and always on time.

I realised that many hotels on the island charge a high commission booking transfers and taxis for the tourists. For this reason I looked for a company myself and zan Island taxi had more reasonable prices transported me and my wife around the island. The owner and his drivers were always at the pick-up location in advance and were kind enough to keep an accessory we had forgotten on the taxi that they gave us back the following ride.
I recommend their service!

We used Zan taxi’s for 4 trips while in Zanzibar, abs could not have been happier with the promptness, communications and professionalism. Not a bad word to say about our experience with them. The driver even helped us complete our PCR test and even offered his phone for WiFi hotspot. Thoroughly recommend using this service.

Zdravo.
Suprug i ja idemo u julu ove godine na Zanzibar i jako smo uzbuđeni zbog toga! :)
U sopstvenoj režiji smo našli ono najvažnije za početak - karte, smeštaj... Ono što je ostalo, a takođe je bitna stavka (na početku i na kraju) je transfer od i do aerodroma. Vidim ovde dosta predloga od strane vas koji ste bili na ovom divnom ostrvu, za vozače/vodiče, pa me interesuje da li neko od vas slučajno ima neki kontakt mejl/broj za WhatsApp...nekog od tih koje ste preporučivali?
Mi ćemo inače biti locirani u Nungwiu, ali imamo u planu da obilazimo što više. Za početak nam je cilj da stignemo nekako od aerodroma do hotela. :)
Hotel u kojem ćemo biti ima svoju ponudu za transfer, ali smatram da je preskupa i znam po priči ljudi koji su išli na ZNZ, da sigurno može da se prođe za manje od 50$ po pravcu.
Čekam odgovore ljudi! :)
Hvala! :)
