Musoma

The capital of Tanzania’s Mara region, Musoma lies on the coast of the spectacular Lake Victoria near the Kenyan border, and offers magnificent scenery and a significant point of cultural interest. Matvilla Beach, with its soft white sands, pinky-grey boulders, charming bungalows and delightful bars, offers an idyllic holiday destination. Discover the area’s past at the Mwalimu Julius K Nyerere Museum, which celebrates the first president’s life and work, or at the historic German Boma. Don’t miss the opportunity to indulge in a variety of traditional dishes at the Mwigobero Market; at Mara Dishes, with its large buffet; or at the fine dining restaurant at the Afrilux Hotel. Make sure to take a trip to one of the exotic islands or local fishing villages, and try your own hand at deep fishing on the way.
