    Get in

    [edit]

    Buses to Dar es Salaam (at least 9 hours) depart early in the morning. Get a seat near the front as part of the road is unpaved.

    Minibuses to Lindi, Mtwara and Newala leave throughout the day. To Lindi and Mtwara the road is paved.

    For transport heading further inland ask around at the bus stand.

    Towards Tunduru there is a modern road as far as the village of Mangaka but the next section is not yet built. If you want to see the Unity Bridge which goes over the Ruvuma River to Mozambique there is a well made murram (or laterite dirt) road towards the bridge from Mangaka.

    • Ndanda is a village 37 km NE of Nasasi along Highway B5. It has gradually built up around the 1 Abbey of Our Lady Help of Christians Ndanda Abbey on Wikipedia, a German mission station and hospital founded in 1905. Any buses running between Masasi and Lindi, Mtwara or Dar es Salaam will pass through Ndanda and will drop you off here.
