Tourist Trap: A museum in Tanzania?!

    • Oh, yes! Mwanza has a museum, which is actually a big thing considering Tanzania's general lack of museums. Outside Mwanza is the Sukuma Museum, showing tools, buildings, clothes, medicines etc. of the sukuma - the dominating tribe in Mwanza Region. Being an ethnographer, I must shamefully admit that I haven't been there, but some of my friends went, and said it was actually a very good experience and that the museum gave a very good impression of the history and the culture of the Sukuma.

     mv nansio is now part of kamanga ferry and doesn't go to ukerewe anymore. And it was build by KFL so all our ships are safe. not just this one    		Kanzaga Wed Jun 14, 2006 21:02 UTC
     congulatulation for being curious . some aspects in your comments irritates me, that you failed to connect with the cultural attitudes, typical of any Muzungu generalising/failed to take control/save his/her purpose. Im a Musukuma from Mwanza living in CA

     Fantastic descriptions of your travels. Not only interesting but educational. Thanks.    		joernme Thu Jun 3, 2004 14:25 UTC
     Mette, great tips on a place that has never been on my mind, but enthusiasm seems to be one of your characteristics and one can really feel it in your page :-) I guess one really has to go to decide if to love or hate travelling in Africa. One day I will.
