Luggage transfer, storage and travel support in Zanzibar

Move around Zanzibar without your luggage.

We collect your bags, look after them when needed, and get them where they need to be. Changing hotels, arriving early, exploring for the day or flying later, your luggage does not have to follow you.

Passenger transport and Day Bags can be added to your journey.

Built around real travel days

Your plans do not have to revolve around your suitcase.

When your plans and your luggage do not line up, we handle the luggage part.

Airport → Stone Town → Hotel

Arrive before check in, hand over the bags, and start enjoying Zanzibar straight away.

Nungwi → Stone Town → Airport

Explore luggage free, then reunite with your bags before your flight.

Kendwa → Safari → Paje

Take only what you need while your main luggage is cared for until your next stay.

Airbnb → Excursion → Resort

Go straight to your plans after checkout while your luggage is handled separately.

Paje → Beach Day → Evening Flight

Enjoy your final day without dragging your suitcase around.

The difference

You do not come back for your bags. Your bags come to you.

Traditional luggage storage still means returning to the same place later. With Zanzibar Luggage, tell us where your bags start, where they need to end up, and when you need them there.

Same starting point. Different journeys. Reunited when you need them.

Arriving in Zanzibar

Landed before check in? Start the holiday anyway.

Meet us in the public arrivals area at Zanzibar Airport after you have collected your luggage and cleared customs. We can take your luggage from there, look after it, and deliver it to your accommodation when you need it.

Need transport too? We can take you to Stone Town, lunch, an activity or another stop first, then reunite you with your luggage later.

FAQs

A few useful answers.

What can I use Zanzibar Luggage for?

Changing hotels, exploring for the day, arriving before check in, waiting for a later flight, going on an excursion, travelling off island, going on safari, or anytime you would rather not carry your main luggage with you.

Can you move my luggage between hotels?

Yes. We can collect from one accommodation and deliver to the next at an agreed time.

Can you keep my luggage for a few hours or several days?

Yes, subject to availability and the details of your journey.

Does Split Journey have to be on the same day?

No. Your later pickup can be later the same day or on a later date. Tell us the timings you need and we will plan the journey around them.

Can you accommodate urgent or same-day bookings?

We may be able to, subject to availability. Submit your journey details and we’ll let you know what we can accommodate.

Do I need to be there when my luggage is delivered?

You or another agreed recipient must be available at the agreed delivery point to receive the luggage. We do not leave luggage unattended.

Can you collect from or deliver to Zanzibar Airport?

Yes. For airport collection, collect your luggage and clear customs, then meet us in the public arrivals area at Zanzibar Airport. We can take the bags from there, and passenger transport can also be included if needed.

Can you arrange passenger transport too?

Yes. If you want us to transport you for part of your journey while looking after your luggage separately, choose Split Journey. If you and your luggage are travelling directly to the same destination, choose Travel Together.

What is a Day Bag?

A lightweight hire bag supplied by Zanzibar Luggage for temporary use. It is separate from your own luggage and is for the essentials you want with you while we look after your main bags.

What if I have unusually large luggage?

Tell us what it is and upload a photo if useful. We will confirm whether we can accommodate it before accepting the journey.

What is the difference between Luggage Only and Split Journey?

With Luggage Only, you arrange your own transport and we take care of your bags. With Split Journey, we collect you and your luggage together, drop you where you want to spend your time, and look after your luggage while you are away. We can also collect you again later and continue the journey together.
