To get around and about you have the option of taking the local transport daladalas, there are different routes all originating and ending in Stone town.

Or, at a modest fee, get a boda boda rider to drive you to the entrance gate.

You may opt for taxi services and getting a great cab driver, reliable and knowledgeable will transform your exploring experiences. We can recommend the taxi drivers we know, who are affordable and have been in the island all their lives and are thus a treasure of knowledge, history, and bureaucracies.

If you prefer independence and a cost-effective way of getting around, you may hire a car. You will need a Zanzibari temporary driving licence to drive on the roads. Apply for the permit at the Zanzibar Revenue Authority motor vehicle department. It costs about $10 and you’ll need your valid driving licence plus photocopies and two passport photos to apply.

Things to do around Fumba town

You can enjoy the cool vibe in the town complex. The seashore is half a kilometer away, feel free to take a walk, stroll, or hike. There is a good 1.5 km track you can use back and forth parallel to the shoreline.

Turn right after the gate and you can check out the tide coming in or leaving. While it is not ideal for swimming like other beaches, it is wonderful to see the fishermen and local community keeping busy whether it’s fishing, seaweed harvesting and so on.

There are kiosks shops around the area, about 1km in Nyamanzi to get basic supplies. For supermarkets you will have to go closer to Zanzibar city.
