Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 23, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are the most common and convenient option for getting to and from Mwanza Airport. They are readily available outside the arrivals hall. Fares are typically negotiated with the driver before the trip begins, as they are not metered. The journey to the Mwanza city center usually takes about 20-30 minutes.

Rental Cars

Several car rental companies serve Mwanza Airport, though they may not have physical desks within the terminal. It is highly recommended to book a vehicle in advance. Companies often provide a meet-and-greet service, where a representative will meet you upon arrival. An international driving permit is often required along with your valid home country driver's license.

Public Transportation

Public transportation options are limited directly from the airport terminal. The main form of local public transit is the 'dala-dala' (minibus). To catch one, you would likely need to walk to the main road near the airport entrance. This option is very inexpensive but can be crowded and difficult to navigate for visitors, especially with luggage. Motorcycle taxis ('boda-bodas') are also common but are not suitable for carrying luggage.
