Description
This is the booking office for the ferry that runs to Bukoba 3 times a week (Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday). There are 3 classes. First class gives you a 2-person bedroom (45.000 pp), second class a 4-person bedroom (30.000 pp), third class you stay on the deck or in the bar (16.000). Reporting time is 19:30pm, departing time 21pm. Normally arrives in Bukoba around 6-6:30am. There is a restaurant and bar on board, quite lively with Tanzanian music and alcohol flowing freely. I stayed in first class, which was on the first floor. Bunk bed, neat, clean sheets and a functioning plug and small desk. Recommended to buy first and second class tickets a view days in advance since they tend to sell out. We entered with 2 bicycles which they weighed before boarding, total costs for the bikes was 16.000. Possible to enter with a car as well, they told me for a land cruiser it is around 150.000 but depends on the weight. All in all good experience!

They craned the car inside the boat ( Scaring but the team was great and very professional ! )
