Mto Wa Mbu
Mto wa Mbu is the busy gateway to Lake Manyara, which is fed by the town’s eponymous ‘River of Mosquitoes’, and you’ll pass through here en route between Arusha and Ngorongoro. Over the years, this diverse place – by some estimates, all of Tanzania’s 120 tribal groups are present here – has evolved into something of a travellers centre, with plenty of lodges, campsites, hole-in-the-wall eateries, petrol stations, money changers, souvenir stalls and just about anything else that could tempt a passing safari vehicle to disgorge its inhabitants.
