Kahama

Located in north-western Tanzania in the Shinyanga region. Though it’s a small compact town, it is an important contributor to Tanzania’s economy through forestry, fishing, and mining.

Kahama is one of those rustic little places that offer a beautiful slice-of-life African experience- of its people, wilderness, and food. One of the best places to see in Tanzania, its beauty lies in its vast plains interspersed with thickets of native trees habited by local birds and animals.

The beautiful and friendly people of Kahama can be met at the Central Market. This is also a great place to shop for curios and artworks. For a rare experience, visit the Buzwagi gold mine, which is an open-pit gold mine to see how gold is processed.

Explore the spectacular wildlife at the Northern Kahama Game Reserve. It is exciting trying to spot the Big Five Game animals and other native species. What can be better than tucking in delicious local food like Nyama Choma, Ugali, and Zanzibar pizza after a long day of sightseeing? You can visit places like Verandas Tapas bar and the Royal Food Court for this.

The weather here is hot and humid throughout the year. June-August, the low rainfall months, is the best time to visit.
