Mwanza, Tanzania
Population 2,772,509 (2012) – Mwanza Region
Mwanza is the fastest growing city in East Africa, and is the second largest in Tanzania. When Carolyn first visited, in the early 90s, there were few cars, but now it is almost impossible to cross the road! There are few traffic lights that caused quite a commotion when it was installed in 2009. The residents had never seen anything like it! Mwanza has moved on from being a small community to being a bustling city. Mwanza is known as ‘Rock City’ due to the many rock formations in the area – even Living Waters is comprised of numerous beautiful rock faces. One of the outstanding features of the city is the ‘Bismarck Rock’. It is a great mystery as to how the rock came to be so perfectly balanced.
