Why Go?
Tanzania's half of Africa's largest lake sees few visitors, but the region holds many attrac-
tions for those with a bent for the offbeat and a desire to immerse themselves in the rhythms
of local life beyond the tourist trail. The cities of Musoma and Bukoba have a quiet water-
side charm while most villagers on Ukerewe island follow a subsistence lifestyle with little
connection to the world beyond the shore.
Mwanza, Tanzania's second largest city, is appealing in its own way and it's the perfect
launch pad for a Serengeti-Lake Natron-Ngorongoro loop. And adding the forest of idyllic
Rubondo Island National Park, deep in the lake's southwest reaches, gives you a well-roun-
ded safari experience.
If you have the time you'll surely leave this little corner of Tanzania with new experiences
and wonderful memories.
When to Go
Mar-May
During the 'long rains' it will rain nearly every day, and often all day.
