Customer Reviews

We saw very good unanimous reviews for Kibabu, and our experience in April 2024 confirmed this.

After reading online about a car rental company in Zanzibar that was serious and committed, we saw very good unanimous reviews for Kibabu, and our experience in April 2024 confirmed this. We rented one of their Rav 4 cars online for four days, and all the booking process was quick and flawless. A special thanks to Nassor Abdallah, who brought the car to our hotel in Kendwa and picked it up when we finished. He was punctual, serious, informative, and very kind. Driving a car in Zanzibar can at times be challenging, but Kibabu made things much easier for us, and we lived an experience which allowed us to discover most of the island's beautiful spots at our own pace. We would strongly recommend them!

Our experience was great. The pickup and delivery was uncomplicated. Your flexibility was very comfortable. The car was great. We didn't have any problem I would recommend you to anyone asking for a car in Zanzibar

Kibabu car service was absolutely PERFECT!!!!

Kibabu car service was absolutely PERFECT!!!!
Kibabu brought the car to our villa on time on the agreed day; you gave us totally complete information and a very useful map; all the required documentation was perfect including the driving licenses for Tanzania. The car was clean, and according to the agreed model.
Thank you very much for your professional service.

Your rental service has been very good and also the car you gave us was perfect to drive in Zanzibar. I really enjoyed drive it. We for sure will recommend you 😊. I will write on TripAdvisor.

We enjoyed our experience with Kibabu Cars. The attendant who dropped off the car was extremely helpful and went above and beyond helping us to get our money changed in order to buy gas, as well as directing us to gas station.

Go Kibabu, drive happy!

Happy to!
My family was very happy with both the vehicle you provided as well as your service. The delivery driver was friendly and helpful, helping us get fuel before beginning the journey home. He also made sure I could handle the car. The vehicles was clean and handled the roads well, including those littered with potholes. I ESPECIALLY appreciated that the vehicle we had meant we were not once stopped by traffic police. That had been a major cause of stress beforehand and we felt absolutely relieved to not have to deal with it. Roman G, California.

The process to book the rental car went very well, you were replying super quick to our questions, and it was very useful to receive the tips to drive in the island and specially on how to deal with the police harassing the tourists. Helio R, Switzerland.

Kibabu Cars was a great find. They sorted out the paperwork in advance via email and then everything is done on trust, you pay in US$ on collection and they give you the keys. No credit cards or time wasting. The rep was waiting at arrivals as promised. Rental cars in Africa are often older with high mileage but it was obvious that the engine, suspension and aircon were maintained to a very high standard so we were very happy with our choice. It was obvious the car was going to be reliable. On return rep was waiting at entrance as promised and we handed back the keys and headed into airport. Go Kibabu, drive happy! Jason B, Germany.

We were a group of 9 friends who rented 2 Toyota RAV 4s. The cars,
although they were not new, worked wonderfully, without any problems. The delivery and return took place at the same airport where they were waiting for us upon arrival with our name. We have been very satisfied with the service and fully recommend it. Excellent. Roger S, UK.
