Male’ Getting there & around

Getting around

Local transport

Taxi

The numerous taxis offer a few minutes of cool, air-conditioned comfort and a driver who can usually find any address in Male’. Many streets are one way and others may be blocked by construction work or stationary vehicles, so taxis will often take roundabout routes.

Fares are the same (Rf15) for any distance. Taxis may charge Rf5 extra for luggage, and they cost Rf20 after midnight. You don’t have to tip. There are quite a few taxi companies, but don’t worry about the name of the company – just call one of the following numbers: 3323132, 3325757 or 3322454.

Bicycle

A bicycle is a good way to get around, but there’s no place to rent one. Your guesthouse might be able to arrange something. Be sure to lock it up and always use a light at night.
