hello Guys, please advise if anyone has ever gone to zanzibar by road. and whats the cost
You will need to go to Dar es salaam. Bus to Dar is about 3500 from nairobi. After that, Zanzibar is an island, you will either need to fly or take a boat. Boat is anywhere betweet 600 shillings and 1500 depending on the class. David. On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 10:45 AM, Felakut Theo <egmasp@yahoo.com> wrote:

Am in TZ guys. The trip is long and tiring have done it before. Also a word of warning; at the border there is a walk across no man's land at the border. Here you will come across unscrupulous conmen trying to ask for money, passport etc. The trick is ignore them and rudely walk past. I have a bitter experience losing an ipod so please beware.

Take a Dar Express from Nairobi to Dar, they are the most reliable, comfortable and fast. Dont take Akamba!There are Ferries that go to Zanzibar from Dar and they do Travel in the Night from 10pm to Stone Town in Zanzibar.

Hi, Was there in FEB this year. If you are driving - USE your GPS or Phone enabled GPS. - Road is not so good btwn Namamga and Arusha, mostly off road. After Arusha its smooth. Its pretty straight forward. Its a long drive average 10-12hrs Nbi - Dar By Bus Depends on where you are boarding from. If its Nairobi via Namamga - I recommend Dar Express ( Offices Behind Fire station - . Kshs 3000/- )departs 630am If its Msa Coast to Dar - Use Lunga Lunga Route. By public means. There are shuttles Make sure you have your YELLOW FEVER Jab, otherwise Tz customs will bring issues.( You will get this from any government hospital - or at City hall charges apply - Ranging from Kshs.1500 to 3000) - If not you can still have it at the border - But you might be in a crowd of people taking last min shots. - Time factor. You can change your Money at the border- I recommend Kenyan side, there is an official Forex inside the customs offices, DO NOT change on the road or in the bus. Exchange Rate Kshs.1 to Tshs18. You can still do your banking in TZ. So long as your card is VISA enabled. - charges Apply. - Barclays is efficient. Dar to Zanzi Take Kilimanjaro Safaris (Azam), they operate Shuttle boats - Very Clean and reliable. - $ 30 - 50. (2hrs to Zanzi town) Coming back Zanzibar town to Dar - Its slightly higher on the same boat Zanzi town - Plenty of Vehicles for Car hire/ Taxi or Public means. If you are in need of reliable locale contacts both in Dar and in Zanzi -let me know I will hook you up On 24 March 2011 10:45, Felakut Theo <egmasp@yahoo.com> wrote:
