City Overview
Mwanza is Tanzania's most important port on the shore of Lake Victoria. It's a lively, bustling place in a wonderful setting, lying on a peninsula that juts out into the lake and surrounded by some rocky hills. Some very impressive granite outcrops dominate the land. The road approach is spectacular, tunnelling through some of the great boulders on this route.
The lake itself is very beautiful and dotted with many islands of varying sizes.
Daily Budget
You can get a pizza for about US$4/5 and some cheap local nosh for even less so if you are camping and living frugally allow for about US$ 20 - 25. But if you want more in the way of creature comforts, staying in middle range hotel and eating in cafe's or restaurants will set you back about US$40 - 50.
