Recently I made the 300 kilometres journey south of Dar es Salaam to Lindi region, to visit the Kilwa Kisiwani and Songo Mnara ruins, which are listed on the World Heritage.
I took a public service bus from Dar es Salaam ride to Kilwa Masoko, at a cost of Tsh20,000 ($8.5), the trip takes about four hours and buses are available the whole day. For those wishing to fly to Kilwa, it is 40 minutes by a small charter plane. For a personal car drive, the trip is slightly under four hours through Mtwara Road to Nangurukuru township in Kilwa district, about 298km away.
