    Great location and helpful staff but it was very expensive

    The storage location was in a downstairs store which wasn't locked. Our bags were placed of the floor with other customers. We where not given a label to confirm drop off.

    Easy drop off and pickup. Safe location in a back room so people couldn’t tamper with the bags.
  • Simona2 years ago
    A somewhat old hotel in not a very pleasant area (near the station) but convenient for the service, the manager is very kind and helpful.

    The service was good, however not getting any bag tags or written receipt of the stashed bags was very strange. They asked me to take a photo of the bag tags. This is no way secure nor efficient. What happens if you get your phone stolen or lost, or simply your battery dies!?

Luggage storage across Zanzibar

Plenty of visitors to Zanzibar arrive with a bag and hours to spare before a ferry or flight, especially when a holiday rental won't hold luggage.

The island's main arrival points have no storage desks of their own, so sorting bags out before you travel is the safest bet. Dala-Dalas and ferries will carry your bags, though large ones cost extra on local buses. Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous region of the United Republic of Tanzania, lying in the Indian Ocean off the East African coast. Zanzibar City, on the west coast of Unguja Island, is the capital and largest city of the region. Stasher bookings around Zanzibar are busiest on Monday and Saturday and in January and September, so booking ahead at those times is a good idea. Tourism is a major industry and the top income generator for Zanzibar, which is known for its beaches and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Stone Town. The vast majority of visitors to Zanzibar, approximately 99.7 percent in February 2026, travel to the island specifically for holiday purposes. The Freddie Mercury Museum is located inside the childhood home of Farrokh Bulsara on Shangani Street in Stone Town, Zanzibar. Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park is the only national park in Zanzibar and serves as a sanctuary for the endemic Zanzibar red colobus monkey. With Stasher, you can store bags from US$1.49 per bag per day.

Some top Stasher locations in Zanzibar include:

⁣Local hosts include local shops and hotel receptions. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to US$13,000. Stasher storage in Zanzibar can be booked through the website or app.⁣

Arriving in Zanzibar with bags

Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) sits 6–7 km south of Stone Town, and a typical taxi takes 15–20 minutes. The ferry terminal on Malindi Road in Stone Town serves high-speed ferries to and from Sokoine Drive in Dar es Salaam, and Zanfast Ferries allows 2 pieces of luggage up to 20 kg per passenger at no extra cost. The Zanzibar Bus shuttle service also carries your luggage for free. The one-way fare for a Dala-Dala from the airport to Stone Town is 500 TZS.

Getting around with luggage

The Darajani Terminal on Creek Road in Stone Town is the central interchange where all island Dala-Dala routes originate, so it is the place to find a connection to most of the island. Dala-Dala operators charge an additional 500 to 1,000 TZS per large bag or backpack, something to budget for if you are travelling with luggage.

Christ Church Cathedral in the heart of Stone Town has no parking within the cathedral grounds, so plan to arrive on foot or by taxi if you are carrying bags.
