ACCOMODATION

In order to help you plan your trip, we have collated information on accommodation options here in Mwanza to suit a range of budgets. (Please find document attached). Swimmers are welcome to stay, free of charge in classrooms at Isamilo International School (matresses provided), or camp on the school field!

However, other swimmers may prefer a Hostel or Hotel, and the attached document gives some different options, all of which are within 15 mins walking distance from Isamilo International School. Over the coming weeks, we will also send further details of other hotels within the local area.

TRAVEL

Regarding travel to Mwanza, we would recommend air travel, which is by far the easiest option. Due to increased competition on the Mwanza-Dar route, the price of tickets have deceased significantly, and when booking in advance, it is currently possible to get return tickets for 150,000/- (Precision) and 200,000/- (Fly 540) for Adults, under 12s are charged 25% less. We can assist with arranging transfers from Mwanza airport if needed.

More information will be posted closer to the date..
