Mwanza (The Rock City)
Mwanza, formerly known as the Sukumaland, is the second largest city in Tanzania and is a host to a number of least known attractions. Beyond this beautiful region which lies on the southern shore of Lake Victoria at 1.134m above sea level, is an altitude that provides the city in particular, and the region in general, with a wonderful view of little Kageye, an historical site that was found in 1800s. It is a small village which then formed part of the Sukuma Kingdom, formerly made up of 52 separate and autonomous kingdoms, also known as chiefdoms.

The city of Mwanza is the major Tanzanian port on Lake Victoria and a major centre of economic activities in the region. The lake borders the country’s East African neighbours – Uganda to the north west, and Kenya to the north east. Export and transport among the countries is a foundation of Mwanza’s economy. Around the city of Mwanza, the land is primarily devoted to agricultural enterprise; Maize, cotton and coffee plantations produce large volumes of cash crops that pass though Mwanza on their way to market. The town’s industrial harbour and busy streets make it a prosperous and busy place to explore. For visitors, the city makes a good base from which to explore it and destinations around.

Shinyanga is home of Wasukuma and in bid to conserve and preserve its green natural attractions it is practicing Ngitili. Ngitili which in the Wasukuma dialect, means lush green or green grass has made vegetation in villages in which the programme is being implemented lush green and attractive to visitors. Over 80% of the population in Shinyanga own livestock for daily household sustenance and income generation. As a consequence, the numbers of livestock have similarly doubled, representing 20% of the total livestock that reared on 5.45% of the total land of Tanzania.

There are so many place to visit such as Snake Park, Arusha national park with Mount Meru, Nyerere Museum and many other place to explore.

Uganda
Mwanza is a perfect starting point for a trip to Uganda, is a beautiful country with warm and friendly people. Because of its nice infrastructure, Uganda is a good country to be a tourist in. Transport from Mwanza to Uganda, by water with a boat, which is cheap, but takes an awful lot of time, and is not completely safe, by air fly from Mwanza to Entebbe but I recommend to go by road while Touring until you reach Kampala.

Kenya
