North Africa & Desert Routes

In cities like Cairo, Casablanca, Marrakech, Tunis, and others, private pick-up makes late-night and early-morning arrivals feel easier. We can also coordinate onward drivers for desert routes and major tourist hubs.

How Africa Airport Pick-Up Works

The idea is simple: you land, walk out of arrivals, find your name, and get into your private vehicle. No stress, no searching for taxis, and no price negotiations after a long flight.

  • 1. Send us your details
    Share your arrival airport, flight number, landing time, hotel or address, number of travelers, and luggage (especially if you have many bags or equipment).
  • 2. Get a clear quote
    We reply with a simple quote per vehicle or per group, plus what’s included: meet-and-greet, parking, waiting time, and drop-off location.
  • 3. Confirm your pick-up
    Once you confirm, we book the driver and share meeting instructions (exact spot inside or just outside arrivals, plus a contact number).
  • 4. Meet your driver at arrivals
    On arrival day, your driver waits with a sign (or WhatsApp contact) and helps with luggage. If your flight is slightly delayed, they adjust within the agreed waiting window.
  • 5. Private transfer to your hotel
    You’re driven directly to your hotel, lodge, or Airbnb. For safari or countryside routes, we plan the most suitable vehicle depending on distance and road type.
  • 6. Optional return transfer
    You can also book your return to the airport or onward border/city transfer in advance so everything is organized from day one.
Good to know: For some airports, we can also help with group transfers, conference shuttles, and multi-vehicle operations for up to 150+ people.

Why Book an Airport Pick-Up in Africa?

You can always look for a taxi on arrival—but for many travelers, a pre-booked pick-up is worth it, especially after long flights, with children, or when arriving late at night.

  • Stress-free arrival
    No need to search for transport or compare prices when you’re tired. You walk out and go straight to your driver.
  • Safe, vetted drivers
    We work with trusted local partners who regularly handle tourists, NGO teams, and business travelers.
  • Clear, fixed pricing
    Prices are agreed in advance, so there are no surprises at the end of the ride.
  • Better vehicles for your group
    We match vehicles to your group size and luggage—sedans, vans, or minibuses— instead of squeezing into random taxis.
  • Local help if anything changes
    If your flight is delayed or rescheduled, you have contacts on the ground to adjust timings where possible.
  • Perfect for first-time visitors
    Arriving in a new country, language, or culture feels easier when someone is already waiting for you.
  • Good for groups and events
    For group tours, weddings, conferences, or school trips, organized airport transfers keep everyone together and on schedule.
  • Start your trip relaxed
    Instead of worrying about logistics, you can focus on your holiday, meeting, or safari from day one.

Africa Airport Arrival Tips

These simple tips make your arrival smoother and help your driver find you quickly—even if the airport is busy.

  • Keep your phone charged
    Make sure your phone has battery when you land. If possible, enable roaming or buy a local SIM so your driver can reach you if needed.
  • Share your flight number
    This helps the driver track delays and adjust arrival time within the agreed waiting window.
  • Know your meeting point
    We’ll tell you exactly where to meet: inside arrivals, just outside, or at a specific sign or café.
  • Have a copy of your hotel address
    Even if the driver knows the place, it’s useful to have the full address and phone number, especially for new hotels and Airbnbs.
  • Keep some local cash
    Even if your transfer is prepaid, small cash is handy for tips, snacks, or quick stops on the way.
  • Tell us about special luggage
    If you have bikes, surfboards, film equipment, or many bags, we’ll plan a larger vehicle in advance.
  • Travel insurance & documents
    Keep passports, visas, and travel insurance documents in your hand luggage for easy access at immigration.
  • Relax after you land
    The whole point of airport pick-up is to reduce stress. Walk out at your pace—your driver is there to help you start your trip smoothly.

FAQ – Africa Airport Pick-Up Service

Is airport pick-up private or shared?

Our standard service is private—the vehicle is for you and your group only. For conferences or big events, we can also arrange shared shuttles or multiple vehicles.

Can you handle large groups?

Yes. Through our partners, we can coordinate vehicles for small groups, big groups, and multi-bus operations up to 150+ travelers, depending on the city and dates.

How do I pay for the transfer?
