Extensive experience in tourism and travel
Karibu Zanzibar Consulting Services is a subsidiary of Karibu Zanzibar Car Rental (SMC-Private) Limited, the parent company established in 2018. We specialise in car hire — chauffeur-driven and self-drive — in Zanzibar, and in all business related to tourism: air ticketing for domestic and international airlines, hotel reservations, excursions, safaris and transfers.
We offer customised packages for individuals, teams and large groups, and hire out cars to diplomatic missions, NGOs and expatriates. Our fleet includes saloon cars, compact sedans and SUVs, off-road 4x4s, safari minibuses and mini-vans, and 25-, 29- and 33-seater minibuses — new, clean and reliable, at reasonable and affordable rates.
