The best accommodations Mwanza

This 100% women's Tanzanian project combines low-cost bungalows with safaris from Mwanza. The property, a little out of the way 30 minutes from the center, offers a large garden where the bungalows are scattered. The eight rooms feature queen-size mosquito-screened beds, sofas, dining tables, en-suite bathrooms and wi-fi. Don't expect any fancy decor, though. Excellent breakfast. The safari guides are also 100% women, an initiative worth supporting.

It's a must on the main road in the center of Mwanza, just a stone's throw from the port. This hotel is a good reference for Tanzanian businessmen and visitors seeking a minimum of comfort. We appreciate the classic, even Victorian style of the rooms, their facilities (air-conditioning, telephone, kettle, private bathroom, queen or king-size bed with multiple pillows, etc.) and the hotel's very professional service. Excellent restaurant, close to the bustling city center (market...).

This is the original and slightly crazy spot to stay in Mwanza: these all-wood cabins are suspended on stilts above the rocks bordering Lake Victoria. An incomparable and affordable vacation setting. The cabins are original in that they all feature an island bath overlooking the lake. Another original feature is that the beds are also suspended, and move like a giant hammock. The cleanliness is impeccable, and the decor (especially the fancy plastic climbing ivy and the pretty pictures on the walls) just as good as the breakfast.

Opened in 2016, this pretty little twenty-room hotel on the shores of Lake Victoria right in Mwanzan is a really good address, frequented by both men in suits and rare visitors looking here for optimum comfort and good hotel service. Modern and bright, the rooms are air-conditioned, equipped with wi-fi and telephone, and beautifully decorated in matching shades of ochre and white. The courtyard is paved, a pity for the greenery, but the whole is really affordable and the proximity to the lake charming. Parking.

Here's a stunning new address! This sumptuous lodge is made up of safari tents and bungalows on stilts skimming the shores of Lake Victoria. A truly spectacular setting. The safari tents are set on wooden platforms overlooking the canopy and the lake, equipped with rustic furniture typical of African lodges, air-conditioning and a pleasant bathroom. The deluxe tents have a plunge pool on their terrace, as do the larger hard-built rooms with a lounge, for an intimate plunge. The green setting is magnificent.
