We are making our way to Rwanda after safari in Serengeti so it would be much more convenient to end up in Mwanza instead of backtracking to Arusha. Any thoughts?

I should have mentioned we're on a tight budget.

If you mean scheduled safaris that you can join, I haven't see any that end in Mwanza and if you're with a group, I don't know how difficult it would be to arrange to get dropped off there. A private safari can end wherever you want but you'd be paying for the guide to drive empty one way. I hope someone else has some creative ideas for you.

Contact Fortes Safaris (Fortes Car Hire). They are based in both, Arusha and Mwanza.

Hi nyama, thanks a lot for that recommendation! I think they might be a little bit out of our budget, but I will contact them and see what they can do for us.

Is Mwanza nearer to Serengeti than Arusha is? If so maybe we should just find one starting and ending there...

Road distances:

Mwanza to Ndabaka Gate (West Serengeti): 135 kms
Arusha to Naabi Hill Gate (South Serengeti): 240 kms
Arusha to Ngorongoro Crater (same road): 160 kms
