Getting here

We are located in the suburb of Masaki, just around the corner from Slipway. Tell the driver that you wish to be dropped at the corner of Chole Rd and Slipway Rd in Masaki. 

Taxi

The fastest and easiest way to get to Slow Leopard Dar. We have a group of reliable taxi drivers that we can book to collect you from most arrival points. To make a taxi booking please email us with the date of arrival, full name, arrival time and flight number or bus company name. 

If you decide to get your own taxi on arrival, negotiate your fare beforehand (check out our price guide), and always be clear that your destination is understood before getting underway. The average taxi cost to the Airport is 45,000 TZS and to the Zanzibar Ferry/City Centre, from the hostel, is 20,000 TZS.

 

Bajaji (tuk tuk)

You can also get a bajaji, the three-wheeled vehicles with covered seating for 3 that costs generally half the price of taxis.

City Bus (Daladala)

While sometimes chaotic, very full and slow, they are also very reliable and offer a relatively easy and cheap transport option – with an added sense of adventure. Look for a bus with “Masaki” stenciled on the front, the general fare is 400 TZS so it generally doesn't cost more than 1,000 TZS to get anywhere in the city.
