Fly to Mwanza

Mwanza is a small, quiet city in Tanzania that offers travelers an opportunity to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The city is only 125 years old, but it has a lot of history.

The influences of the city come from Germany, the UK and India, so you'll experience a few different cultures during your stay. You can take tours of the city, go to the cultural center and spend some time at the national park there.

Attractions

At the Sukuma Museum at the Bujora Cultural Center, you can learn about the rich history of the area and see ancient artifacts like royal drums that date back hundreds of years. A resident dance troupe performs regularly outside of the museum as well.

If you love the outdoors, you can get a panoramic view of the area by hiking to the top of Balili Mountain. It only takes about 20 to 30 minutes to reach the summit.
