Toyota RAV4 2-Door Rental in Zanzibar: Short, Nimble 4x4 for $30 a Day
The two-door Toyota RAV4 is the original, short-bodied RAV4: small enough to turn in narrow village lanes and easy to park in Stone Town, yet built on a proper 4×4 chassis. At $30 a day it is a fun, practical pick for two to three people exploring the island.

About the Toyota RAV4 (2 Doors)
With a short wheelbase the two-door RAV4 is one of the easiest cars to place on Zanzibar’s narrow roads. It feels light and responsive, and the four-wheel-drive layout gives you confidence on sandy side roads.
Two doors means rear passengers climb in over the front seats, so it works best for two or three people rather than a full car. If you travel with children or lots of luggage, the RAV4 with 4 doors is the better fit. We confirm the exact year and gearbox with you at booking.
Specifications shown are typical for this model. We confirm the exact year, gearbox and features of your vehicle when you book.
Mosum Tours & Safaris is a Zanzibar-based operator with more than ten years of experience in ground handling. Our office is on Forodhani Street in Stone Town and we are on WhatsApp from 8 AM to 9 PM every day.
