Western Tanzania Travel Guide

Region

The remote west along Africa's great lakes. Mwanza is a granite-ringed city on Lake Victoria, Gombe Stream and Mahale Mountains on Lake Tanganyika are where to track chimpanzees, Kigoma is the port for the old MV Liemba, and Katavi National Park is one of Africa's wildest. Dry season is best.
