Kivulini Kitchen
This is a simple one-room place, run by a local women’s group, with profits going to a local women’s rights organisation. There’s an extensive menu, although not everything is available. Best is to ask what the day’s special is, and then enjoy the lovely garden area – also with a small children’s play area – behind while it’s being prepared. Or, to avoid a long wait, order in advance. It’s about 2km from town in the Isamilo section of town (Tsh1500 in a taxi, or a 20-minute walk).

SAA NANE Game Reserve
This little reserve is on a tiny island just off Capri Point. While it could be a peaceful getaway from the dust of town, it is sadly marred by a dejected-looking collection of caged animals, and not recommended. A boat departs several times daily from next to Hotel Tilapia (Tsh1000, 15 minutes). There’s no food or lodging on the island. The reserve’s office is on Capri Point Rd, about 200m north of Hotel Tilapia.

Central Market
Central Mwanza has an Oriental feel due to its many mosques and Hindu temples, and is well worth a stroll, particularly the area around Temple St. In the area between Temple St west towards Post St, Mwanza's strong Indian influence is particularly evident, with Indian trading houses and pan shops lining the streets. To the southeast is the bustling and chaotic Central Market , where you can find almost anything you could want.

Diner
Despite the drab exterior and sometimes spotty service, the food here – an extensive selection of Indian dishes, plus some Chinese fare as well – is usually delicious. It’s just down from the Air Tanzania office.

Yun Long Chinese Restaurant
Good Chinese food and sundowners overlooking Bismarck Rock and the lake. Turn left one block west of the post office and continue along the dirt road running parallel to the water for about 500m, crossing the railroad tracks.
