For land-based outdoor adventures in Mwanza, such as hiking in the nearby Saanane Island National Park or cycling along the shores of Lake Victoria, the dry season from June to September is the best time to visit, offering cooler temperatures and minimal rain. During the wet months of March to May, it's advisable to avoid outdoor activities due to heavy rainfall, but hotels in Mwanza offer comfortable accommodations for those looking to explore the culture and local cuisine indoors.
