Mwanza Trips & Tours

The name ‘Mwanza’ might not ring many bells, but the striking, lakeside city is the second-largest in Tanzania and an economic hub. It’s the most important port on Lake Victoria and fishing is a national pastime, both commercially and on a smaller-scale, and tiny fishing boats criss-cross the water alongside chugging ferries and trailing vessels. But it’s not all business either; if you find yourself here for a day or a night, take a stroll around the town and marvel at the rocky inselbergs in and around the streets, (the most famous is Bismarck Rock), wander with the monkeys and impalas of Saa Nane National Park or take a stroll along the lake shore, stopping for a cool drink and a natter with the locals in one of the many restaurants.
