) can often find tickets even when the booking
office says they're sold out and if not, can arrange for you to sleep in the Assistant Cap-
tain's cabin.
Bus
All bus companies have ticket offices at or near the bus stand. The staff at Kiroyera Tours
can also buy tickets for you; for a small fee.
There are buses to Mwanza (Tsh20,000, six to seven hours) via Muganza (Tsh10,000, two
hours) between 6am and 1pm; Mohammed Trans and Bunda are two of the better compan-
ies. Visram goes to Kigoma (Tsh27,000, 13 to 15 hours) three times a week at 6am; but
when the road paving is finished it is expected that service should increase to daily. All
Dar es Salaam (Tsh52,000 to Tsh60,000, 21 hours) buses leave at or before 6am. The route
goes through Muganza, Kahama, Singida and Dodoma and some buses continue to Dar in
a single trip, including Mohammed Trans and Sumry, the two best companies, while others
overnight in Morogoro to avoid reaching Dar in the wee hours. See
